I can reproduce this issue. :( plasma-nm is reporting that the network works fine. `pkcon` operations work. But Discover shows a network error on the featured apps page and does not load updates on the updates page.

All KDE stuff built from source on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Comment 3 Fabian Vogt 2020-04-22 07:47:34 UTC 
The root cause is that the main Tumbleweed repo is currently missing the "appdata" file with the appstream info (already being investigated).

This causes discover to create a search files transaction for all appstream lookups, which is for some reason slowing it down significantly, although it doesn't actually return any results.

Discover just shows the network connectivity error if there are no items on the "featured" page.
