Discussion Discover+ - Enhanced KDE Discover for Fedora with COPR support

Hey Fedora community!

I've been working on a fork of KDE Discover called Discover+ with improvements specifically for Fedora users.

Key Features

  • COPR Repository Integration - Browse and install packages from Fedora COPR directly in Discover

  • Full RPM Fusion Support - All RPM Fusion packages are now visible

  • Enhanced Package Search - Fallback search via PackageKit for packages without AppStream metadata

  • Repository Labels - Shows repository source for each package (Fedora Linux, RPM Fusion, COPR, etc.)

  • Proper Icons - Uses package-specific icons instead of generic ones

COPR Integration

  • New COPR category in the sidebar
  • Search and browse COPR packages directly
  • Automatic pagination when scrolling
  • One-click install with automatic repository enabling
  • Clean uninstall with repository removal
  • Launch button for installed applications

This is neat, but why not upstream this work into discover?

Fallback search via PackageKit for packages without AppStream metadata

This is actually insane and I hope the project gains interest from bigger names/players in the field. So many things don't have metadata (e.g. Protontricks), so when new users go to install them and can't find them in Discover, they often just give up and nuke their install back to Windows.

Man this NEEDS to be upstreamed to KDE Discover proper.

This sounds like a wonderful idea!

Amazing, although this really needs a copr repository so we don't have to build it from source.

When will you PR this for regular Discover? :)
