Overview
Yeah, no.
I was about to mark it as BETA as part of this hackweek.
Based on what? I've seen no sign of contributions adding flathub/flatpak installation out of the box..nor did I see any contributions resolving/avoiding packagekit transactional issues - did I miss something, because without at least one of those..it's not going to be [BETA] quality.
I tried it in a VM, it works just fine. Flathub is easy to use from discover, not sure what you're talking about there.
and how is flathub being added automatically on the KDE desktop? how is a browser/default apps being installled?
The above 2 were the minimum steps required for GNOME to reach BETA
Just open discover and you'll see.
In any case, nitpicks and ignorance are not valid reasons to drop anything.
No, I have no desire to download, run, or otherwise mess around with KDE.
I am the person who conceptualised and started the MicroOS Desktop effort
You are the contributor who wants to expand it in an area beyond that which I was willing to maintain
It's your responsibility to convince me of that, not my responsibility to chase after features you want.
Show me how flathub is added automatically on the KDE Desktop, and show me how the KDE Desktop gets default applications installed, and which applications those are.
meanwhile I am escalating this to the Board.
Yeah, Discover let you even install RPMs, while GNOME Software does not. But that uses the DNF-tnxupd backend of PackageKit, which has bugs that are not making any progress. Just the other day, someone was reporting pkcon (which uses the same backend, so it could have been Discover) crashing in the middle of any update or install operations, and it wasn't possible to install any package (not even transactional-update... They had to use tukit directly in order to be able to do that).
Another thing is, still in Discover, that you see duplicates of most apps, because it shows both RPMs and Flatpaks (after you have enabled flathub by hand), which is quite annoying.
But the main point, as Richard says, is that right after finishing installing the system, after first login, you have no browser available, which is not really acceptable, IMO.
wouldn't that be fixed by removing pkcon? Also the first boot script is the mod-firstboot script in the Gnome-branding-MicroOS package. preferably something like that should exist for KDE as well, or something for all desktops together (but then we might have issues with choosing gnome calculator as default for example)
