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.

Wait, can we even update / install system package via Discover? i always thought it just contains KDE stuff and the flatpak installed through Discover.

if that's the case, is there a way to disable system packages in Discover?

It's disabled by default, you have to install packagekit to enable it, but neither KDE nor the Arch maintainers recommend that you do this.
