I'm no fan of the direction Windows has been going since 7, but this is exactly like the default behavior of KDE Plasma (at least on OpenSUSE).

This would be a more charitable argument if Discover was in the habit of promoting proprietary software for sale. Perhaps that's true on OpenSUSE specifically? On KDE Plasma on my system, the search lens only seems to suggest things in the local repositories, which are all free software. It's also trivially easy to configure which lenses are enabled, and as a bonus has a local file search that actually works (and quickly at that)
I'm on Kubuntu and don't have ads in my menu bar.
I guess HN is just a more pretentious version of Reddit now? Share simple facts and people downvote/flag you for not being sufficiently outraged about the subject?
Windows 11 costs money, KDE does not. Changes things slightly.
First rule of getting downvoted - don't talk about getting downvoted
