--- Comment #5 from Jiri Janousek
openSUSE only ships software which openSUSE itself has vetted, audited, and assured will work on openSUSE.
Flathub is comparatively unvetted, unaudited, and there is no assurance that any of their software will work on openSUSE
I strongly disagree with any suggestion we should do anything like what Fedora do in this area.
There is a misunderstanding. I've never asked to add/support Flathub repo in OpenSUSE. Neither Fedora includes Flathub repo out of the box and it never will for the same reasons as OpenSUSE. I merely pointed to the broken user experience of flatpakrepo files in OpenSUSE and gave an example of how it is supposed to work - entirely with GUI tools (KDE Discover/GNOME Software) without installing any missing dependencies via a command line. This workflow works also in Debian/Ubuntu (gnome-software-plugin-flatpak depends on flatpak) or Arch Linux (gnome-software depends on flatpak).
I haven't closed this bug because I wish to give other GNOME maintainers a chance to give their view. I have made mine clear and your arguments above do not sway it.
I just think it doesn't make sense that I can add flatpakrepo with GNOME Software, install a flatpak app with GNOME software, but I cannot launch it unless I open a terminal and install flatpak from the command-line. But let's agree to disagree. Thank you for keeping this ticket open for other opinions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
