I'm running the Fedora KDE spin and it has Discover. I very seldom use

available icon on the toolbar that I don't look at very often, just

I prefer also using Konsole zypper up,in commands... faster than YaST or
PackageKit applet(update icon).
 
I use Discover to see what's out there.

After I wrote that I remembered in my OpenSUSE WSL instance it's zypper,
not dnf. It would be great if all distros could use the same name.

For a while Yast was SUSE's allstar. Did they manage to bloat that beyond
repair?  I usually don't go shopping with Discover, Software & Updates,
and so forth. There are a set of programs that I install when I provision
a new machine. For the most part they are the same for any Linux or
Windows distro.

Sometimes a site will have an article about the hot new things on flathub.
I may poke around, yawn, and do about my business. I guess I'm not too
adventuresome.
