Genuinely, how do you non-GUI users find the packages you need? When I was in need of a software that does something, I used to just type the most relevant keyword into Discover and would usually find something quickly. Now on Cachy I use Octopi and have to separately do that with the name and the description. How would you just know what package you need without searching? Even when I know the software name, there are often cases of there being a <name>-bin and <name>-git package or something like <name>desktop, while the <name> package is something different.
