Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Yup, what makes flatpak more akin to the open source spirit is that new submissions to flathub are open source and rely on a PR model

    https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission/

    https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pulls

    And software that exists on flathub is open and accessible in their repositories

    https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

    Whereas snaps are a web based walled garden controlled by canonical

    https://snapcraft.io/docs/using-the-snap-store

    They both provide benefit as you explained, but flathub (flatpak’s default repo) is definitely more open in how it is handled
