I've had very few problems with KDE Plasma (on Fedora) since I swapped to it like a year ago. Discover is being weird every now and then, but I mostly use dnf directly anyways.
every time i open my computer i have the tray filled with sad face emojis because discover crashed. then it will not open anymore but the sad emojis still reappear
Have you tried launching Discover through the terminal? You might get some helpful logs (especially if it's immediately segfaulting, that means it's a known bug with a fix!)
yes i have launched it from terminal. it only launches with sudo, it works completely normally then. funny that it nags that it's unnecessary to run it with sudo. without sudo it's just silent, nothing appears in terminal.
there's also 4 updates always available, but they keep coming back after restarting discover. sometimes it gives an error complaining about color schemes, wallpapers, cursors etc. even if I remove everything i downloaded...
