In fact, if you do chose to install gnome-software, please note that this will automatically install packagekit-branding-upstream which alters your PackageKit settings - this is to enable Packagekit to populate the database which gnome-software requires, but results in a really, really, really long first refresh of PackageKit, which we normally avoid with the default settings provided by packagekit-branding-openSUSE

What is causing that delay? Does gnome software only work on the repo data or does it require extra web services?

It's only on repodata and locally available date in /usr/share/app-info.

The issue with PK is a zypp-backend limitation as far as I understand, where our "file search' capability is too slow (this is why the default was changed to 'NO' for openSUSE).

If you switch this back to TRUE and then initiate a pkcon refresh, you'll see that this takes much longer (especially on first run; it builds up a desktop-db as well).

The parameter Dominique refers to is "ScanDesktopFiles=" in /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf The upstream default is 'true' as is required by gnome-software, as packaged in branding-upstream-PackageKit Our distribution default is 'false' as packaged in branding-openSUSE-PackageKit
