SUMMARY
***
Removing Discover from favorites does nothing. It comes back after plasma/kde restart. I just removed it twice. Repeatable.

This is regression as this bug was supposedly already fixed:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385814
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422881
The bug is back with a vengeance.

P.S. Discover (packagekit) will break Debian 11 if there is a security update for grub. It broke systems of other people (black screen of death i.e. no boot), that's why I remove it from menu. The proper way to update Debian is the following:
$ sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs -y The system would ask to reconfigure grub and when to put stuff (you navigate via keyboard arrows, tabs, space and enter,....).
If you use Discover/packagekit KDE WILL BREAK PEOPLES SYSTEMS. Your fault! This is why this bug is very serious. Discover IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DEBIAN! IT BREAKS PEOPLES SYSTEMS. So there is also this question: Did you fix Discover to be compatible with Debian updates and not to black screen of death peoples systems?
***

Expected:
1. Don't force people to use Discover (vide PS)
2. Allow poeple to use native package manager (Discover breaks Debian)
3. Don't force Discover on favorites, even if the user removes it from favorites

Can you attach a screen recording that shows you:

1. remove Discover from Favorites in Kickoff
2. open a terminal window
3. run `killall plasmashell`
4. run `plasmashell`
5. Keep the terminal window open in a place where it won't be covered up by Kickoff
6. Open Kickoff

Thanks!
