SUMMARY

Discover considers Flathub's Blender release to be a "development" release, and considers Fedora's Flatpak version to be "outdated", incentivising users to install the RPM.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Install Fedora 42's KDE Spin.

2. Add Flathub.

3. Access Blender's listing in Discover.

4. Switch to the Fedora Flatpak or Flathub repository views.

5. Notice the warning.

6. Switch to the alternative repository that it recommends.

OBSERVED RESULT

On Flathub:

> A more stable version of Blender is available.

On Fedora Flatpaks:

> This development version of Blender is outdated. Using the stable version is highly recommended.

EXPECTED RESULT

Discover shouldn't recursively recommend that I switch between the Fedora and Flathub repositories.
