SUMMARY When I update or install Flatpaks from Discover, Plasma will freeze for a couple of seconds near the end of the update or install task. I've tested this on my laptop and desktop, and it happens on both. People in the Fedora Kinoite Matrix room have also reported the same problem. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Discover 2. Try to perform an update, or install a Flatpak OBSERVED RESULT Plasma freezes for a few seconds near the end of the update or install task. EXPECTED RESULT Plasma doesn't freeze for a few seconds. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Kinoite 37.20230126.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.7-200.fc37.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
I have the same issue from time to time. It looks like it does Flatpak updates heavily in parallel and that creates a lot of IO and thus the freeze.
