Trying to install KSystemLog
Trying to install KSystemLog to be able to read the journalctl logs more easily but when I followed the discover link from the page https://apps.kde.org/ksystemlog/ the discover store opens with the error noted in the image. Anyone know which software repository to use?

The issue arises because Discover in Bazzite cannot install RPM applications, only Flatpak. Additionally, KSystemLog is only available in Flatpak.
You can install it using the command:
Alternatively, you can use Distrobox.
Here are the links for detailed instructions:

Is it not possible to add the flatpak repo that KSystemLog is on to the discover store? Would rather install it as a flatpak and not layer it since that slows down updates. Installing via distrobox is an option but wouldn’t it be reporting the logs from the distrobox container and not the base system?
Honestly, I don't know. But as far as I know, Ksystemlog is not in Flatpak...
there is one in kde nightly, you can add that i guess
