Discover does not show VLC though it is installed on the system
SUMMARY
Among the KDE applications, deb packages of Firefox and VLC come pre-installed
on KDE Neon.
But apparently the Discover in KDE Neon is configured not to show non-KDE deb
packages; that means that users can't uninstall those packages via Discover.
This is confusing especially for users who are not very familiar with Linux.
Firefox deb is going to be replaced with Snap soon anyway, so it's basically
about VLC.
It could be replaced by Snap or Flatpak of the same application, or a KDE
application such as Dragon Player.
Plus, I think it's nice to have a disclaimer somewhere, such as on the website
or on a welcome pop-up on the first boot, that the Discover on Neon is not
supposed to be used to install non-KDE deb packages. Should I file another
ticket for this?
Thank you.
