Flathub now prominently notes unverified Flatpak apps
After all the issues with Canonical's Snap package scams lately, it seems the Flathub folks are continuing to ensure their platform is trustworthy.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Ah, Linux, you gotta love it right? There's numerous different ways to do the same thing. One of those that people like to argue about it packaging and how to install things on Linux.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Valve is seeing an increasing number of bug reports for issues caused by Canonical's repackaging of the Steam client through snap.
The best way to install Steam on Debian and derivative operating systems is to follow the instructions at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/#getting-started and use the official .deb
We are not involved with the snap repackaging. It has a lot of issues.
If you don't want the .deb, please at least consider the flatpak version.

The following guidelines are not required for submission to Flathub, but are best practices we recommend and consider for curation and promotion.docs.flathub.org
Today's updated Flathub docs: more information for app developers about verification, including some more technical details. Inspired yet again by conversations with external ISVs.

Well, #Snap may be better on the #Server side but considering the "standard by consensus" on #FLOSS they should admit defeat and go with #FlatPak.
Espechally since #Canonical doesn't seem to yet provide the benefit of a #centralized #repo in the form of #QualityControl and #Verification of #Developers...

I'm technical enough, but help family and friends with #Linux. I'm particular about graphical user experience.
- sane setup for non-technical users or of the box
- easy access to printer setup, user setup, network setup, etc
- timely security updates
- ootb wide hardware support (including proprietary if chosen)
- mainstream enough for packages (including proprietary ones) to be available. #flatpak #snap #appimage and #distrobox make this easier now
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.

Now, will #Canonical follow this move with Snap? Because I'd much rather support an ecosystem that in turn has the mechanisms in place to support the developers.

So I can install #Discord with Flatpak on a SteamDeck and chat over it.
The bad news is Discord client with Flatpak doesn't support game overlay.
