New deck owner here, my Discover is empty, am I possibly missing a source?

Post Body

I'm not new to linux, but new to arch and the deck. Just got mine yesterday and having some confusion with the discover app. It seems pretty barren. I did let the system update, it says its on SteamOS 3.4.4, and Discover app 5.26.1

Tried to install firefox from the link on the taskbar, it opens Discover with an error that it cant open the mozilla stream. All app categories in Discover are empty, reporting "Nothing Found", except for application addons and plasma addons.

Under settings, it shows 1 entry as the default source for flatpak, and 3 sources, 1 checked, under firmware updates. Is there an arch source missing here or is the deck intended to only use flatpaks?

EDIT: I can confirm wifi works on both console and desktop mode. I can ping flatpaks dl address from konsole. Flatpaks status page shows green across the board. I have made no mods or installed any software beyond letting SteamOS update and a few steam games. Deleting Discover and Flatpaks cache did not resolve this either. Can anyone confirm their Discover loads and installs apps? Or advise as to next steps?

Edit 2: SOLVED. Had to delete the flatpak source from within Discover, and manually re-add it as per this post someone on the Steam discussions pointed me to...

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ue9hxx/help_i_accidentally_deleted_the_flatpak_source/

After doing that, Discover works as intended. I'm confused as to why removing then readding the same address fixes it, but hey, I'll take it!
