I can’t search in discover for any of the KDE software like kmail or KDE partition manager. On the apps.kde.org website when I click the install on Linux button it pulls up discover. But it says “Could not open app stream://org.kde.whatever because it was not found in any available software repositories.”.
I have been googling for awhile and can’t figure out what repository I need or how to add it. If any one could help I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Depending on the distribution you use, you might need to set up Flathub.
I am on Arch but I have already installed flatpak with pacman. Everything else works on Discover. The only thing that doesn’t is specifically all of the KDE software.
You shouldn’t use discover for anything other than flatpaks on Arch because it doesn’t allow manual intervention which is sometimes required on Arch. It can even leave you with an unbootable system.
That’s what I’m trying to do. All I want to do is try out kmail which I’m assuming is a flatpak because that’s the only option I see to install it. But non of the apps.kde.org software pulls up in discover.
kmail is in the arch repository (in extra), the package is called kmail.
I do not recommend using discover on arch because packakit-qt6 is borked and not working well for arch main repos,flatpak need to be installed manually as package but if u want so much using GUI for packages better try install pamac from aur,it’s niche GUI frontend for package manager from manjaro team which handle flatpaks usual packages and aur packages too
KMail isn’t available on flathub, so the only way you would see it in discover is if you have done what everyone is telling you not to do on arch. You need to uninstall all of the packagekit dependices. Then you will be able to use discover safely and only install flatpaks.
How did you install Arch and Plasma? My installs always come with both flatpak and Flathub enabled by default.
Just used Arch install. Later on when I launched discover it said it couldn’t be used without flatpak. So I installed flatpak and that was it.
Can you currently install flatpak apps through commandline? If yes, check your software sources from Discover settings page.

You probably don’t have the Flathub remote enabled for Flatpak. Just go through the setup steps as usual.
Try listing the flatpak remotes in the terminal, maybe the correct repository isn’t added/enabled.
