--- Comment #4 from BOF <[email protected]> ---
>From a UX point of view, this looks like a deadlock as I can not update the
system or discover by opening it (I can probably update the system via the
command line, but this should not be expected from a new Linux user who may
even just left Windows)

I still wonder how a new user would actually do that. Because Discover crashes
during startup, users have no way to recover from broken Flatpak metadata using
the GUI. A safe-mode or backend-disable mechanism is missing.

Something like 
o) plasma-discover --safe-mode
that disables flatpaks, online repos and only allows local PackageKit data

or a question on crash:

„Discover crashed while loading Flatpak backend.
Start without Flatpak support? [Yes] [No]“

would be interesting to have.
