Feature Request Description

I'm a new Decky Loader user, but already long time Steam and Linux user. It would be nice to get any kind of progress bar/indicator on the plugin install screen, as it is now I have no idea if it's working, if it's stuck with some problem, etc... I mean, I've been watching the "Install Bluetooth" with the button saying "Installing" for some 20 minutes by now.

Hi, I'd like to contribute to this, I've never contributed to a project on github so I'm not sure if I should as for permission or what. Should I?

oh look, it took 10 minutes for Bluetooth plugin to update...

Got that from journalctl, but on the user frontend on the Deck, the only thing was the "updating" popup, with the grayed out button. I was almost restarting the Deck 🤣

(edit) forgot to add one very important thing: despite my sarcastic comment, much love and respect. Thank you for this amazing tool. Love Decky! Wish I had monies to shower this project with <3
