Description Nate Graham 2025-02-25 15:59:11 UTC 
If you install the same app from different sources (i.e. Flatpak and distro packages) then they can appear identical in Kicker.

As long as both have the same AppStream ID, we can teach Kicker to know they're the same app and visually disambiguate them somehow.
