>linux will no longer be free
kek
the only thing they had is being taken away from them

>>105851461 (OP)
QRD?

? just use the AUR

flatpaks have their use though, like sandboxing discord or spotify so they can't talk to anything else on your system that they don't need access to.

>>105851491
little by little they are making their shit paid
>but it's just some apps, over 90% of them are free
for now anon. you know how it works

>>105851530
How does this make Linux non free?

>>105851491
OP is a retard and thinks Linux is somehow bound to Flatpak and also doesn't know that there has always been closed source commercial software available as Flatpak - Flathub merely added optional payment processing for commercial software and handling of donations to developers.

>>105851549
behind flatpak is redhat
it's only a matter of time

>>105851561
And... uh... how does that remove GPL from Linux?

>>105851581
not linux, i meant Fedora and Flatpak

>>105851589

Poorfag seethe thread

>"linux will no longer be free"
>flathub is allowing paid software that wouldnt be there anyway

another schizo thread

>>105851553
OP is a fag but I am a little concerned that this incentivises developers to start charging for apps and flathub turns into a Google play type marketplace.

>>105851673
nobody pays for anything on Google play

>>105851673
>flathub turns into a Google play type marketplace
you sound like OP saying redhat (a for profit company) is behind flathub when it isn't

>>105851691
Because you are the product, you created the account right?

>NOOOOOOOO you cant make linux interesting for corporations
>anything linux HAS to be a huge financial loss for everyone involved, so it keeps forever never ever working

>>105851737

Nobody owes you their work for free faggot, even open source software has no obligation to be non-commercial

>>105851762

>>105851589
People will stop using Flatpak or just use free versions of shit on there. It's really not going to affect anything unless a strong mass of users (which I doubt a lot of Linux users are going to be) pay for whatever bullshit asks for money to install.

If Proton asks for money to install it, it's over for Linux.

>>105851530
Steam has been selling Linux games for years. That's nothing new.

>>105851858
you are actually defending this

me and you probably do google "name of app + apk" but millions of normies do pay.

/thread

>>105851799
The problem with your shit argument is that it will not make Linux better in any way, it will be the same but it wont be free anymore, same shit quality but this time you will pay. Remember only 3% of the revenue on Linux kernel and commies are in power right now, who do you think is pulling the strings?

>>105852104

>>105851877
spotx does not work on browser to steal premium from spotify, and discord on the browser does not allow voice chat unless it's the currently focused tab, which is retarded.

>>105852125
where did you get this from?

>>105852104
NTA but Linux can run at 3% budget because a lot of corporations sponsor free infrastructure. This isn't true for independent development.

your bait thread sucks. Already btfo by bultiple anons,, commit sudoku plz thxthx

>>105851509
You can do this with hidepid and properly configured user accounts. No need to use flatshit

>>105852430
>just do everything flatpak does for you by yourself
...ok?

Linux application developer here. Obviously I'm not going to tell you which apps but there is a good chance whoever is reading this is using an application made by me. I fucking love the idea of paid apps and donations on Flathub. This is a killer feature for me and I will soon change the README.md of all my applications to say that Flathub is the only supported and official way to install my apps. I will also actively discourage my users from using AppImages, Snaps and AUR after this. This is a game changer and I expect more and more application developers to switch exclusively to Flathub because of this. Flathub won.

>>105851561
Just don't use Flatpak? Duh

>>105852340
3% on kernel, 97% on diversity events and Afrocentrism.

>>105852521
post nose

stop replying to this stupid thread
>>105852610
flatpak and Fedora saved linux

>>105852521

>>105852173
Does spotx work with the Flatpak? TIL. What should you do to make it work?
