Description:
GNOME and Fedora contributor Michael Catanzaro has written a
lengthy blog
post about the future of Fedora Workstation as an image-based
release and the need to enable Flathub by default. He writes that the
Fedora Workstation of the future must be " safe and image-based by
default ", with applications provided through Flathub: Flathub is drastically more popular than Fedora Flatpaks even among
the most hardcore Fedora community members who participate in change
proposal debate on Fedora Discussion. (At time of writing, nearly 80%
of discussion participants favor filtering out Fedora Flatpaks.) This is the most important point. Flathub has already won. He notes that Fedora should
not force users to install an
image-based OS if they do not want to, and there will be a
package-based version for users who prefer or require it: " so no
need to panic ".
