So this is a minor nitpick, but I imagine it affects many far less tech-savvy people than me:
- Go to any version of Discover on any potato installed with a modern distro (I have tested with both Fedora and Lubuntu).
- Search for something, anything, and wait for its results.
- Select one of the queried app selections.
- It will give zero indication that you selected anything.
- A few seconds later, it will advance to the app’s screen with all the specs. If you had selected something else in the meantime, it’ll go to that instead.
This is a severe cause for confusion for the tech-illiterate (who are more likely to use Discover than “sudo dnf/apt install [thing]”).
The simple answer would be to have some sort of UX that puts a border around the button, but it can also be darkening the selection, cranking up to white, pretty much anything that indicates a change to the user.
I know it’s probably easy for someone else to implement, so this is my “see something say something” over here.
