[$] Another Fedora Flatpak discussion

Thursday November 13, 2025. 03:49 PM , from LWN.net
Many distributions provide support out of the proverbial box for
Flatpak packages, but Fedora is unusual in that it also provides, and
defaults, to its own repository of Fedora-built Flatpaks. This has been
a source of confusion for Fedora users, who expect to get the Flatpak
built by the original developers and hosted on Flathub. It has also been a source
of conflict with upstream projects, because users complain of bugs in
Flatpak packages they are not responsible for. The situation has also frustrated some
Fedora developers, who would prefer to offer put Flathub's offerings
first. A new complaint that Fedora has apparently used manifests
from Flathub to build the packages for Fedora—without giving credit to
the original authors—has spurred discussions about Fedora's
Flatpaks once again. While no concrete changes are on the table, yet,
there may be some movement toward addressing persistent complaints.
