Description Tamás Králl 2025-05-17 11:18:34 UTC 
SUMMARY
When right-clicking on an app in Kickoff, the context menu has an entry called "Uninstall or Manage Add-Ons...".
I think this should be differently phrased, as you can do many other things with the app in Discover, not just remove it or install add-ons for it. You can share it, rate it, read a lot of information about it etc.

It might be better to just say: "Open in Discover" or "See in software center"

The current wording was intentional, because people were expecting a menu item with the word "uninstall" in it. In the past the menu item didn't have that, and we repeatedly got bug reports requesting a way to uninstall from the context menu. Once we changed the wording, those requests disappeared as if by magic. :)
