I noticed that discover is no longer available, will other apps on kde be replaced with gtk apps
I am wondering because I noticed that discover and konsole are replaced by gtk apps now.
DI also noticed that the kde disks application is no longer there too
Adiscover are replaced by bazaar, bazzite's flathub GUI
ptyxis is used instead of konsole due to its native container capabilities
KDE partition manager has issues with mounting and GNOME's disks handle stuff better

TL;DW: It's better to support one robust set of apps instead of two, especially when giving and receiving support.

DIs the KDE version going away at all?
Aas in bazzite kde? no?
Dthey just look so out of place
DI wonder if dolphin will be replaced?
Ais there anything wrong with dolphin? in the way kde partition manager had issues with mounts and stuff?
Abecause i really dont think the dev team just changes stuff for the sake of it, it's usually bc there are issues that affect user's QoL in usage
DI am asking since more and more is being replaced with gtk apps
Dand there was nothing wrong with konsole either
Aptyxis is used instead of konsole due to its native container capabilitieskonsole lacks the native container options, like what ptyxis has. its kind of necessary for an atomic fedora image to have easily accessible containers, and konsole does not have that

I have explored Aurora (& Bazzite) many times and appreciate the work put into it. However, one recurring issue has been a challenge for me: When I choose KDE Plasma as my desktop environment (so Aurora), I expect to find Konsole as the default and not Ptyxis. This has been a significant factor in my decision to stick with Arch Linux instead o...
DIt seems like KDE is treated as a second class citizen now
Awell if you look thru the post & even the bugs.kde.org thread you'll see that it seems that on the kde-side there is little to no interest to add container features
with how distrobox plays its role in atomic fedora, and how useful it is, its a no brainer choice to go for the term that has support for it imo

DI just use
distrobox enterI wish there is a varient of bazzite that just gives me kde apps
Ayou are free to install konsole flatpak
DI am gonna rebase to gnome and check it out
Ndon't rebase between de's
Dwait what?
Nit breaks a lot of things from what i've heard and is not recommended
Dis there a way to preserve the home directory when installing
Nprobably
Ni'm not experienced enough to know how
Nalternatively you could back up your entire home folder and then reinstall
Dor is there someone out there that made a pure kde bazzite or something?
Nyou can make a custom image that installs the default kde apps
DI just don't like that KDE is just a second class citizen
DI might just go back to steamos for the pure kde experince or something
PIt's not about "classes," it's about prioritizing the apps that are the most functional, and right now a lot of those are GTK apps. There needs to be a base of developers enthusiastic enough about Qt to have a "pure Qt" desktop environment with support for containers, etc.
DI am just hoping that installing the konsole flatpak won't eventually be disabled by the system or something
Nit won't be disabled
Dor what about it uninstalling itself when an update comes
Ait really wont uninstall itself
Nan update cant just up and uninstall the flatpak
PuBlue doesn't have some vendetta against KDE or Qt apps
PThe only stuff hidden in Bazaar is stuff that would actually wreck your setup, like installing Steam flatpak when native already exists
DI wish on kde, gnome apps would at least let me use the KDE top window bar
Dwhat was wrong with discover anyways?

this discussion was on #
bazzite and should give you a better insight on what the team is trying to achieve

Mit does, it just wasn't built for flatpaks. Bazaar is.
Doh ok, I just wish there are qt versions of these apps so it can go along with plasma theming too
MI kinda like gtk even as a KDE user, so I don't mind. I only switched to KDE because I didn't like using extensions to make the shell more usable for my needs.
Though asking devs to implement both qt and gtk versions of apps would be a serious hassle, it would likely bog down development a fair bit. Not to mention it might confuse less informed users.

HBoth discover and gnome software was not satisfactory when it came to their flatpak implementation, they both had different issues and did dumb stuff, we also could not easily curate things on both.
Bazaar let's us do what we want to do and give users a good experience.
It also let's users know they can support their fav software with donations and hopefully will encourage more devs to package their apps for flatpak.
We don't care what toolkit is used for the application as long as it does the job we need it to do and do it good.
This is the same reason we replaced kde partition manager with gnome disks.
One let's you set up static auto mounts correctly while the other one does not correctly handle mount options.
We are more function over form/ui-toolkit

Calso the problem with KDE partition manager is the fact you can edit your fstab using the extra arguments field and it won't stop you if there's typos
Cand in turn lead people to emergency mode
