gamescope shows up
Sorry, forgot to do that.
I am on KDE Linux, so Discover shows only flatpak applications. Does cachyos show pkgkit (so likely pacman) and any others too?

Does cachyos > show pkgkit (so likely pacman) and any others too? by default when installing discover the packagekit backend does not get installed, you can add flatpak to it and so that's all i use it for on arch distro's, as packagekit-qt6 has bugs with breaking updates on arch supposedly. |
Created attachment 186415 [details] gnome-software showing the runtimes for install SUMMARY I have noticed that discover doesn't show any of the runtime/plugins that apps like lutris, bottles and heroic like to use. Like gamescope, vkbasalt, mangohud etc, the user needs to open the terminal to install these runtimes, which the runtimes these apps use are. org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use discover with flatpak backend 2. Search for any of these runtimes 3. See that discover doesn't show the freedesktop runtimes/plugins, it only shows the mangohud valve plugin OBSERVED RESULT You can't install the runtime's in a gui easily and will have to open a terminal to get them installed. EXPECTED RESULT For discover to show these runtime's either on one page called freedesktop runtime's like what gnome-software does or separately like with that mangohud flatpak plugin that appears in discover.
