@unascribed i don't understand this either. it's made me just stop with the GUI store apps and go straight back to dnf and flatpak. you ever find a fix? #kdeplasma#plasmadiscover
@comicsansg afaict this is because this system is running with a flash drive as its root and something about btrfs causes read amplification and makes the entire system slow to a crawl until the IO is done
@unascribed for me at least, discover still takes a smoke break on steam decks, laptops with SSDs (either NVMe or SATA), and even my asahi macbook m1 2020 which blows everything else of mine out of the water with r/w performance. mfw it's just python3 sitting there x6 (is this just a me problem, or does python3-based stuff occasionally take a hot minute to run?)
