From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This might be a real stupid question but why is discover updating to a lower version? Is there any place I can read up why this is the case?

P.S.: Yes, I could have absolutely google this but lemmy is about more than just shitposts and memes imo. Asking some rather noobish questions will make us appear on google btw.

No. This is just a thing Discover does. Unless nearly every update I've done for every Flatpak I have installed on my Steam Deck have actually been downgrades.

As someone else pointed out, its a bug and mentioned on the kde bugtracker.

No, it's just a (long fixed!) bug. In the case of the Deck, the next version of SteamOS comes with the fix soon... in the case of Debian, they don't ship our bugfix releases, so it'll be stuck with this until Debian 13 :/
