https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211101 Bug ID: 1211101 Summary: MicroOS Desktop KDE: replace Kate RPM with KWrite Flatpak Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: MicroOS Assignee: kubic-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: accounts@rack.re QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Kate is currently not available on Flathub and is hence part of the base image, installed as an RPM from the Tumbleweed repo. I think it would be preferable to not include Kate in the base image and instead install KWrite from Flathub (https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.kwrite) similarly to how it's done with Firefox. This would improve two things: 1. The base system would be "all Flatpak" with the only "native" applications being Plasma-Shell, Dolphin, Konsole and Spectacle. (Maybe I'm missing something.) I don't see why Kate needs to be part of these "basic tools" when e.g. Okular, Gwenviwe, kCalc, Ark or Firefox are expected to be installed as Flatpaks. 2. KWrite is easier to use than Kate. The audience for MicroOS Desktop seems to be people who want everything to work without tinkering and without using the CLI. Kate has a lot of features and many buttons here and there so I think it's a bit overkill for the normal user. Those users who still want to have Kate will know how to use transactional-update or distrobox. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
