Even if it's a high level interface, it's not nice that you forcefully
dumb-down / hide things for everyone!
Maybe some of us really want to see what is really going on behind the scenes.
In the end, this is Linux, where it's OK to have as much transparency as you
want, to learn thing, to debug things, to show others stuff.
Just the other day I wanted to  set up a VPN for the first time, over SSH and
the network widget told me that I'm missing a package and presented an "Install
button", which I clicked and a page for  package opened in Discover.
For some reason that I don't remember exactly I wanted to see how the package
is really called in APT so I can do "apt show package-name" and see its details
or to look it up here:
https://tracker.debian.org/
Well, I could not find anywhere to see how the package is called as Discover
doesn't offer any option to see how the package is called in the repository, so
I wanted to open a bug report for that, but I didn't have the time.

As for logs, I want to open a bug report for that too as I'm tired of not
finding any log anywhere.
I wanted to see the log for Kwin in the past and I could not find it anywhere.
Why are all these things hidden from us?
Could you please not forget that this is Linux and many of us are here because
we don't like dumbed-down non-transparent things?
Thank you!
