            Bug ID: 449261
           Summary: Add a toggle to show "System" Apps in the Installed
                    Page, or a tab.
           Product: Discover
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: discover
          Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
          Reporter: ws....@outlook.com
                CC: aleix...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

While this look like the usual "add categories to the installed page", this is
something different and more about usability.

When the user goes to the installed page, Discover is assuming the user wants
to remove/manage "System" apps. Which is mostly likely not. 

If it's not possible to get a list of things installed by default by the
distro, then things like Dolphin, Kate, Konsole, KSysGuard could be assumed to
be part of the system.

Adding a toggle, a tab or anything changes the dynamic a bit: Now Discover
would be assuming the user wants to remove manually installed apps, to which
the user would basically say "No, no, I want to mess with system stuff"

It's feedback, it's more clearly defining what could be removed without much
consequences and what the user should really think about. Android makes
something similar (although it doesn't let the user uninstall system stuff)
