Flathub and Flatpak finally provides a unique way to install applications across all Linux distributions.

But what if you just want to install Flatpaks from Flathub? Seems easier to just stick with the "flatpak" command.

#Linux #flathub #flatpak

Flatpaks are easy to install. Just visit Flathub, find the application you want to install, and copy and paste the code on the command line.

Always use Flatpak and Flathub when possible. They are faster, reliable and almost always up-to-date.

Tone, linguistics, semantics. These are a few of my favourite things. Failures to communicate? One of my least favourite things, which happens way too often in the open source space.

I agree about the "Possibly unsafe" messaging. Both Apple and Google just inform you that the app uses certain permissions to gain access to certain features. #flathub should inform the user just that.

In regards to verification, anything not #opensource should get a yellow badge. Outdated Flatpaks should be red.

What is verification?

I'll keep saying it, because it keeps coming up. If you're working in the FreeDesktop, Linux, or Flatpak spaces, you *need* to understand this, even if you don't personally care about gaming or Steam Deck.

I learned so many neat things about #GNOME, #FlatHub and #endless in this interview with @BrodieOnLinux and @ramcq

I'd love to see more OSS developers linking up with content creators and telling their stories, there's so much to learn from in this interview!
