DISCLAIMER: Arch Linux is not a beginner friendly distribution, and this is not a recommendation or good practice.

I know how to use pacman -S. I have yet to experience a Discover related issue after months of use.

    I get where most comments saying to use pacman or yay but it’s not a good idea to install everything with terminal. Also KDE discover uses flathub and into bazaar is a better client for it.

      I’m installing everything on terminal since I began using Linux. Where is the bad thing in that?

      Downvotes you already have, so I will restrict myself to explaining:

      • CLI is the only way I’ve ever installed anything in a Linux OS. Has served me well for a decade or more
      • doing stuff without knowing what you are doing is going to land you in a mess, no matter how hard GUI tool devs are trying to prevent that

        Top notch logic here. Driving a car without knowing the inner workings of the car will land you in a mess.

          And it will. Why do you think they explained to me how car works long before I ever sat in a driver’s seat?

        Nothing wrong with CLI, you can use it to install from flathub. I’m saying it’s not a good idea from a security standpoint. Yay uses user repository and pacman has root permissions. For example installing wine with pacman will allow access to the whole disk

          installing wine with pacman doesn’t allow any special access. if you run it, then it gets access to whatever the user who ran it has access to. whether you installed it with pacman or a gui wrapper doesn’t matter.
