Description Dan Dascalescu 2021-02-21 09:08:00 UTC
If you search for, say, Spotify in Discover, you'll see two entries. One has a tiny 4-cubes-like logo in the far right, the other an inverted U. I suppose these might be Snap/Appimage/Flatpak, but I personally don't recognize the logos, and I've been around Ubuntu for a while.

Include a tooltip on the source icon

Show the backend name on the tooltip when hovering the icon we show when
a resource represents the non-default applications backend.

Mention backend name in "Install" button to make the source super clear

This allows the backend to be really really clear to the user, even if
they're not familiar with the logos and don't think to hover the cursor
over it to see the tooltip. In fact with this commit, the tooltip is
removed because the name is now visible by default in the button name,
so it's no longer needed.
