Any Linux users out there using Flathub? Learned about it last night listening to Linux Unplugged. Any thoughts?

I think it's the right direction to have application prepackaged like macos, everything becomes so much easier to run.

it’s great!

Just be aware that

- the packages are usually overzealous with permissions, so use Flatseal

- when investigating a new app, go to the flathub org on github to find a yaml file with the build script to see whether it’s made from a Flathub-controlled CI build or just a repackaged binary (from a source you may not trust)
