Fedora threatened with legal action from OBS Studio due to their Flatpak packaging https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/02/fedora-threatened-with-legal-action-from-obs-studio-due-to-their-flatpak-packaging/
@gamingonlinux From a global point of view, either the Fedora team completely revises its process for its homemade flatpaks, or it stops homemade flatpaks and it uses those of Flathub, but in the current state of things it doesn’t serve anyone .
@gamingonlinux if it's in the Fedora repo, which the user can clearly see, then it's already shown as 3rd party
@gamingonlinux
And the repo had text saying that there was hope this would change too. Like those package maintainers wanted to continue their work...
@gamingonlinux I've used Fedora a bit since Arch became too tedious for my extremely occasionally usage and the one thing that stood out to me as being legit bad was the packaging landscape. Felt like everything I wanted to do required a different repo and the whole process was completely opaque at the UI "package manager" level.
Feels very much a situation based on what suits the devs rather than users. And this seems to be the same!
@gamingonlinux following this one with great interest. .. you know, no particular reason.
