SUMMARY Plasma Discover and/or its AppStream and PackageKit backend does not recognize Devuan as a distribution. I chose Debian Unstable aka Sid as closest match to Devuan Ceres in "Platform". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start Plasma Discover on Devuan from a terminal OBSERVED RESULT On start page there is the error message "apps can not be loaded". On console there are the error messages: AppStreamIntegration: No distro component found for "org.devuan.devuan" PackageKitBackend: No distro component found for "org.devuan.devuan" Flatpaks are displayed and packages can be upgraded. But I can only search for Flatpak apps or games not for any apps or games in Devuan. EXPECTED RESULT Works like it would work in Debian. I believe Devuan can be treated just like Debian regarding KDE software. There are a few features that are only available with Systemd – like program view in the system monitor –, but as far as I am aware all KDE/Plasma related packages are unforked and thus are as in Debian. I am grateful that I can use Plasma on Devuan. Thank you! SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS % kinfo Operating System: Devuan GNU/Linux 7 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.91 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kernel Version: 6.17.3-t14g5 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 30.0 GiB of usable RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I can report this elsewhere, e.g. with a backend upstream, if required. Please let me know where to report in that case.
I believe that's a distribution problem, they need to provide a suitable metainfo file.
Yep.
So ID=devuan ID_LIKE=debian in "os-release" is not enough? I am willing to do a bug report for Devuan, but I would like to be a bit more specific about what exactly is needed.
