The functionality is definitely not similar; the KNS backend provides content not available in any other backends.
Faster load times I'm not sure about. Have you benchmarked this? Try running `plasma-discover --backends packagekit,flatpak,fwupd` and compare it to `plasma-discover --backends packagekit,flatpak,fwupd,kns` For me they feel identical in speed.
It's a backend and I think it should be able to be disabled like others. It would also be good to be able to disable it for corporate and business environments. I haven't benchmarked it but it makes it "feel" slower. The institutional use case makes sense, yeah. > Other backends can be disabled in the Settings. KNHS cannot.
We don't have that feature. What you can do is disable a "remote" which isn't quite the same as disabling a backend.
