I installed CachyOS with Plasma DE and found it has no discover in it. When I searched on their sub lots of people say that one shouldn’t use Discover with any Arch distro as it will break the system. Can anybody clarify why?

Also if I am not supposed to use Discover, can anybody suggest an actual GUI application store? Unlike Octopi (which I consider just as a TUI with check boxes and columns)

Edit: I only use Discover for find and install new apps.

For updating, I just use paru.

    using the Arch repo websites to help look for packages when I need to.

    I mostly use GUI package managers to discover the existence of new apps.

    I would say you should backup, timeshift, and try it. You can always do a reinstall if you break something.

    Thankfully I use BTRFS.
