    I guess I’m biased because when I first started using Linux some 20 years ago it was considered user friendly for the time. Plus I must have used it hundreds of times since I had a previous job which involved setting up a lot of CentOS servers, which could have blinded me to the problems. Still, I think it’s reassuring to do everything from a central overview page for your configuration choices, takes away a bit of self-doubt. I’m not complaining though, as long as the new one does the job.




  • Wait, why is Fedora making their own flatpaks? I thought the entire point is that they work on any distro and everybody gets the original source from flathub.

    Just to add to the other replies you’ve got, as far as I’m aware there’s no reason why you can’t add Fedora’s flatpak repo on another distro. Why you would want to is another matter, but I think the fact that anyone can make their own repo is the fundamental strength of flatpak as opposed to snaps; it’s not tied to one organisation, Flathub is the de facto central repo but it doesn’t always have to be.
