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.
This discussion has some answers.

The parts that stand out to me are partial upgrades and hidden errors.
But, it won’t be a problem if I use Discover just for find and install new apps. right?
If the install has errors, you won’t see them.
Browsing is fine. Once you find something you like, it’s better to use
pacmanoryayand watch the output.Thank You
No. Lookup partial upgrades. Just a bad idea.
