Why do you say qemu it's not available?
The software you mention is in the official Extra repository of arch: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch6...system-arm so you should be able to download and install it.
In the terminal type "sudo pacman -Ss qemu" this will list "qemu" packages on my device i get a bunch of them which means they exist and i can install them.
Just checking if you don't see them for any other reason.
If they don't show up in "discover" try the terminal, i don't like discover much (might be personal but it does not really work well for me)... pacman is the command to install packages in arch (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman)

About the plasma task bar, what issue you have when you pin programs?

Hope any of this helps out Smile

Yes, qemu does not show up in the Discover GUI but it does on the pacman command line. I didn't know there was a difference.

When I right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose to pin it, the next time I log in or reboot I get a blank screen after entering my password to log in. It seems like Plasma struggles with some of it's own config a little bit, it gets very laggy when I make changes. Anyway, not sure if that's a PineTab problem, probably not.
It was my first time with discover also, but i run manjaro on my desktop so i had experience with pacman, i tried and... surprise!
Except for pamac any other gui i tried for this does not really work (my experience)

About the laggy issue the only thing i can say is i do not experience it, not sure how to help here...
Was tinking about the amount of ram (mine has 8) but not even sure it can be related.
I guess this happens with any program not just firefox.
Maybe someone else can help.
