Can you add at the mean window big button "Actualize" for us to be able decide after uploading program, whether I need actualize system or only to work with Discover as a browser of my programs I need handle with?

Discover's purpose is to fetch and present remote resources. Without an active internet connection, what is it that you would like to do with Discover?

Since Discover can also uninstall software, this is a valid wish.

Additionally, if it needs 30 minutes to "discover" that there is no connection, then there is a bug that needs to be fixed. General network timeouts are configurable in System Settings. If it cannot respect those, it could default to a timeout of 2 minutes.

Tested this again and it appears to be fixed now after all the network robustness work we did for Plasma 5.27.
