I installed CachyOS with Plasma DE and found it has no discover in it. When I searched on their sub lots of people say that one shouldn’t use Discover with any Arch distro as it will break the system. Can anybody clarify why?

Also if I am not supposed to use Discover, can anybody suggest an actual GUI application store? Unlike Octopi (which I consider just as a TUI with check boxes and columns)

Edit: I only use Discover for find and install new apps.

For updating, I just use paru.

    I use pamac-all, it supports all the things (AUR, flatpak, snap, etc.), but I personally don’t enable snaps.

      Thank you for the suggestion. But I think it will be good if it has images of the application like Discover does.

        That is something that has to be curated, which is not currently done for the Arch and AUR repos. What you are looking for doesn’t exist.
