[$] 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.
