Description Ben McLean 2023-11-07 21:36:39 UTC
SUMMARY

I got the Steam Deck running the latest stable Steam OS.

I have my Desktop Mode environment on my Steam Deck set to use large fonts because I'm visually impaired.
This has forced the "Update" option in Discover Software Center to go below the bottom of the screen for me. It's not broken: I just have to scroll for it.

But it occurs to me that this is bad design. Not everybody needs all the different software categories to browse, but absolutely everybody needs to update. Why should someone have to read through all of the different software categories they could browse before they get down to where "Update" is? I think "Update" should be at the top, the first menu item in Discover Software Center, because everybody needs that.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Run Discover Software Center.

OBSERVED RESULT
 In the left side panel, "Update" is at the very bottom.

EXPECTED RESULT
"Update" should be the first item at the top of the list.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Latest stable Steam OS as of 2023-11-06.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Just a design suggestion.

Thank you for the bug report!

Please note that Plasma 5.26.1 will not be supported for much longer by KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer.

Please upgrade to the latest version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

In fact, in Plasma 6, that's where we've moved it to!
