Bug ID: 467421
Summary: Button in KDE apps website is misleading, doesn't have
flatpaks/snaps/etc. on it
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If I click a link in apps.kde.org to install an app, I imagine that it'd work
more or less universally - meaning: there should be an official flatpak or
snap, or something that would let me install apps from apps.kde.org, like it
works in othe app stores or in ubuntu/gnome. Otherwise, the button looks
misleading - it has an app install icon, but it's not offering any app there,
just passing a search term to discover for something that might not even exist.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to https://apps.kde.org/ksysguard/
2. Click the big button that says "Install on linux".
OBSERVED RESULT
Should offer me to install ksysguard from a flatpak or snap or somewhere, like
it does it ubuntu or android or any other software center. Official KDE apps
should be published as flatpaks as part of some CI pipeline I imagine.
EXPECTED RESULT
If ksysguard is not offered by my distribution's package manager, it won't find
it. It's not even on flathub BTW. Yet the official KDE software still tells me
that that's the button to install it.
