Change Details

Many distros, like Ubuntu and distros based on it (like KDE Neon), historically provide bad AppStream data. This is a problem in many ways, but one realyl obvious one is for Discover: Our list of featured app uses AppStream IDs, when then the ID we search for doesn't exactly match what the distro provides, the list is abnormally short and awkward-looking. This patch updates the list of featured apps to provide three forms of the AppStream URL for each one to make sure that we display the right list of apps even on distros that provide bad AppStream data filterDupes() takes care of ensuring that we don't get duplicate entries.
