Bug ID: 513366
Summary: Hard-coded OS name string in Discover
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version First 6.5.4
Reported In:
Platform: FreeBSD Ports
OS: FreeBSD
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When searching a package name, and Discover not finding it, a text like this
appears:
```
"keepassxc" may be available on the web. Software acquired from the web has not
been reviewed by your distributor for functionality or stability. Use with
caution.
```
Underneath the text, there's a button: `Search the Web for "keepassxc"`.
Clicking it opens a search in DuckDuckGo, as follows:
`https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Linux%20keepass&t=kde&ia=web`
As we can see, it implies Linux is in use, while FreeBSD is my current system.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover in FreeBSD
2. Search any term
3. Click "Search the Web" button.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Web search in DuckDuckGo defaults to "Linux" instead of the actual system.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dynamically get the current system, instead of using hard-coded values.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Opening this very minor issue as a bug, as it might be happening elsewhere
(e.g. right above this section in the bug report template, "SOFTWARE/OS
VERSIONS" only suggests Windows/macOS/Linux, too).
Having such values dynamically populated might also help/interfere with
localization.
