Anyone knows why #gnome-software and #KDE #discover are so slow with #flatpak?

Like often when I'm downloading sth. I can't browse apps or they load for ages. Using the website works instantly.

It feels and is a lot more reliable to use flatpak from the terminal in my experience, I wonder why the #GUI stores have these problems.

Also often had long load times in those stores on #linux mobile.

Did you also experienced such issues? Are you a gnome/kde dev and know where it could come from?

I’ve noticed the slowness comes from packagekit handling repo packages rather than flatpaks. For an example, if you run something like the openSUSE Kalpa, which only supports Flatpaks through discover, it is lightning fast in my experience.
