    This flatpak debate is a hell of a lot of theatre.

    We have a published flatpak app, we could slip anything in, there’s no strong audit process. There is an audit process, but it’s not comprehensive.

    The requirements are trivial to meet, and we did practically nothing to meet them. It’s supposed to be easy.

    This is one of these scenarios where everyone is technically correct.

    Our flatpak downloads and executes binaries, none of this extra security and sandboxing mentioned is relevant or usable.

      when it comes down to it, all these parties either ship something broken as fuck or insecure, and end users have to deal with it either way

        The Fedora maintainers shipped broken software, they should be the ones to explain themselves

          They can’t be perfect. Its a case of do you trust fedora or flatpak for your packaging needs. Personally i trust fedora and flatpak but use fedora.
