This is part of the wider issue that xdg-desktop-portal-gtk has two roles:
and there's tension between those roles. For example, it's registered as an implementation of screencasting and remote desktops, but that won't actually work unless running under a Mutter-based compositor like GNOME Shell.
Now that xdg-desktop-portal-gnome exists, could this issue be resolved by making xdg-desktop-portal-gtk more neutral out-of-the-box and allowing ..-gnome to be where all the GNOME-specific behaviour lives?
Ah, I just found/remembered #120
Currently, there are some strings regarding GNOME Software being displayed to the user:
"No apps installed that can open “%s”. You can find more applications in Software" "No suitable app installed. You can find more applications in Software." "_Find More in Software" "Failed to start Software"
However, these strings are displayed on all systems, including ones without GNOME Software installed. It could be a good idea to hide these UI elements if the system is not running GNOME (for example Linux Mint) or if GNOME Software is not installed (for example Ubuntu or Manjaro).
