Lots of empty space where more info could be displayed
SUMMARY
[Feature request] Please show more info while fetching updates
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover
2. Click on Updates section
3. Click on Refresh button
OBSERVED RESULT
The fetching updates process has very little information about what is
currently doing.
Just a "Fetching updates..." message and a progress bar
Even though there is more than enough space below, there is no info about which
repositories are checked?
Which servers / mirrors are used?
What is the response latency from those servers / mirrors?
What is the download speed from those servers / mirrors?
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect to see more info like:
- The repositories being used
- The servers / mirrors being used
- The latency of those servers / mirrors
- The download speed for those servers / mirrors
I don't want to just stare at a message and a progress bar, which might not
even move for some time on a slow connection.
And of course I want to also be able to learn something, like what repositories
and servers / mirrors my distro uses.
Maybe even spot or debug some problems with the repositories or the servers /
mirrors.
Nala, for example shows more info while fetching updates:
https://phoenixnap.com/kb/nala-apt
https://github.com/volitank/nala
So it would be nice to se after that message and progress bar, which
repositories and servers / mirrors are used.
And what is their access time (latency) and download speed
If it's displayed in a nice column based layout, it's even better.
Maybe also display how long all took and how much data was downloaded, probably
in a tooltip while mouse over the "Updates(x)" menu item as the page is at the
end filled with the update items.
Or show it in the status bar, as besides the "Select All / None" and "Total
size: x" there is still space to display something.
