Improving Snap Ecosystem in KDE
The current scneario of snaps in KDE and specifically in the discover is not that great. The permission manager for snaps is also very poor and inconsistent. This project aims to look into
- Fixing the snap backend in discover
- Fixing the UI of discover like the options of channels of a snap is not shown until the snap isn't installed and others
- Creating a snap kcm for the plasma-settings and implement the snap permission manager there.
