Did you consider clicking on the "Report this issue" button? ;-) That would take you to your distro's bug tracker, since this isn't a KDE issue.

Improve error messaging

Right now our error messaging isn't as normal-person-friendly as it
could be:
- Large colorful icon is scary and more visually prominent than the
  action button, pulling the user's focus to the wrong place
- Technical error text is frontloaded rather than de-emphasized
- Use of jargon word "distribution"

This commit corrects those issues.
