Someone who has used Linux for years may expect to have that combination. There is also "Discover". From the info:
Discover is a graphical software manager for the KDE Plasma desktop It helps users to find software they might want easily and quickly.
By allowing to navigate a software library by search, categories, top lists along with detailed application information including screenshots and reviews, users can more quickly find applications that suit their needs.
It's probably already installed on your system. If not:
zypper install discover
OK, you're right. Discover does list a batch of apps. Except that the files listed are not in any rational order, I suppose one could say that it takes the place of synaptics. Maybe.
But while I'm at it, some other useful commands have been eliminated for no apparent reason-- one that comes to mind right away is whereis and I had thought of another but now it slips what's left of my mind! Oh, well. . . .
whereis is still there but perhaps you neglected to install it. it is provided by util-linux-2.36.1-1.1.x86_64 Please tell me how to install that. Thanx--doug
Just use YaST Software (please!) to Search for 'util-linux'. You don't need to know the version beforehand. Comes right up. --dg
