Software acquired from the web has not been reviewed by your distributor for functionality or stability. Use with caution. ``` Underneath the text, there's a button: `Search the Web for "keepassxc"`. Clicking it opens a search in DuckDuckGo, as follows: `https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Linux%20keepass&t=kde&ia=web` As we can see, it implies Linux is in use, while FreeBSD is my current system. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Discover in FreeBSD 2. Search any term 3. Click "Search the Web" button. OBSERVED RESULT The Web search in DuckDuckGo defaults to "Linux" instead of the actual system. EXPECTED RESULT Dynamically get the current system, instead of using hard-coded values.

Having such values dynamically populated might also help/interfere with localization. 2479033 1 ananddointern1234 2025-12-23 19:22:59 +0000 I want to take this issue and am submitting you my merge request shortly 2480768 2 bug-janitor 2025-12-31 10:49:07 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/1225 2480826 3 nate 2025-12-31 15:29:02 +0000 Git commit ba9e95005a2256d2b993b51645484191a2c6c76b by Nate Graham, on behalf of Jaimukund Bhan.

Fix hardcoded "Linux" in web search fallback Previously, the "Search the Web" button hardcoded "Linux" into the DuckDuckGo search query, which was inaccurate for users on FreeBSD. This change uses Qt.platform.os to dynamically insert the operating system name into the search query.
