There is still the mystery of what is actually that link: <appstream://com.github.louis77.tuner>
As with any other URI it means:
use protocol "appstream" to access resource with name "com.github.luis77.tuner"
Ok, yes.
And as with any other URI, if the program where you clicked this link does not know how to handle the protocol "appstream", it is supposed to lookup the program that can handle it and invoke this program.
It has been working this way for the past 30 years, starting with the venerable http://... links, so I am rather at a loss why it suddenly became a problem in this particular case.
Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know this definition. Thanks also for explaining that it searches and how for the correct distro. I'll add some more information I found. Discover is a Plasma utility. Plasma is installed in this big desktop machine, but not in the remote machine I was using the other day. Gnome also has a tool for handling appstream, I think it is "gnome software". This is related or part of package kit, a tool I almost always uninstall and taboo. Specially on a machine used by other people or a machine with metered internet. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
