Yes, we are. It’s exactly why it shouldn’t be done and why Fedora is the only project wasting their time with this.

Bazzite is not immutable, and SteamOS is as mainstream as it gets while being A/B root immutable.

All of them ship Flathub because it’s ready for public consumption.

If the attempt here is to argue that cloud native isn’t mainstream and change topics from flathub, you are proudly in a bubble of 3% of the computing industry while your peers in the Linux server space and Android run circles around you.

If they behave anything like what Fedora did, yes.

OBS chose Flathub as their official default supported option for their software. Fedora took that software, modified it to update dependencies they weren’t ready to use yet, and then put it on their store in a completely broken state with all of OBS’s trademarks intact and in a way that made it preferred over the official one, and then fought OBS over removing it for months while it racked up support requests from unsuspecting users (victims of Fedora’s shitty policies).

That’s irrelevant to this conversation

The legal threats were credible and resulted in yet more wasted developer time removing that package instead of the entire useless repo.

You’re forgetting that millions of Steam Deck consoles have been sold and all of them are flathub exclusive.

On top of that you have: Mint, Vanilla OS, Endless OS, OpenMandriva, PopOS!, Clear Linux, PureOS, ZorinOS, KDE Neon, GNOME OS, Salix, and many others all shipping flathub by default.

Fedora is in a very exclusive group of distros dumb enough to ship their own flatpak repo.

Bringing up Distrowatch stats and “Echo chamber” in the same comment is the most absurd thing I’ve seen this year.

They’re already mainstream, any belief otherwise is ridiculous to the point of being parody.

Meanwhile you have Fedora getting legal threats because they’re shipping broken software in their own flatpak repo that exists only to waste developer time and project resources at the expense of its users and their experience.

No it’s still unfiltered, we just removed 3 footguns that are pre-installed in the image anyway.

Second best selling consumer Linux platform on the planet, second only to Android.

Bazzite is popular precisely because we ignore bad opinions such as these. Flathub is mainstream and all the whinging in the world isn’t going to change that.

It was rescinded

Distro agnostic, it’s just a flathub store.

I am very proud to say that it’s not ours, we are going out of our way to support it but this is something that could come to any distro and hopefully will.

One of many reasons we replaced it.

Yeah, it seems there’s something going on with what’s listed here. It doesn’t match any other measurement.

You are not forgiven, your behavior was disgusting beyond all measure.

In no uncertain terms would I ever recommend Arch to a beginner, nor would I help a user behaving in the way that you did.

Do not reach out to me again on any platform.

Bazzite founder here. I started Bazzite after spending a few months helping with support on the steam deck Discord because I had already been using atomic fedora and knew the proper workarounds for people who wanted to install applications on a read-only distro like SteamOS.

Bazzite was initially an experiment to see what it would take to get SteamOS packages working in Fedora Atomic, because I knew Fedora Atomic provided a better experience for installing applications that had to be a part of the root system than SteamOS could.

Unlike SteamOS you can layer applications over the root system and they will be kept across updates instead of being removed entirely. You’re also able to spin off custom images with any changes you want through a GitHub action. You have full access to the roof file system during the build process.

I also don’t understand them

distrobox is not a vm

Let’s agree to disagree. I think it’s the single best thing to come to the desktop in the last decade and using containers as build environments has made my workflow immensely better.

Our documentation guy cooked so hard he got burnt out, please read them they’re excellent.
