Honestly I’d be fine with no filters by default but id probably turn a few on. Little to no filters though would be fine by me. However many people are daunted by the info overload of Linux package managers so some filters probably should be there in the default image.
Also preferences should be tied to your Haikudepot login 
a global prefs backup kind of like MS does might be nice too … Either archive offline to usb or sync to cloud storage etc…
Perhaps if you type in a search that is specific enough filters should be overridden if the result fits in the list.
Many search engines also suggest results with filters disabled or suggest disabling enabled filters if no results are returned. eBay is a good example of this.
