Thanks to Flatpak and Flathub, it\u2019s possible for developers to create apps and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s for Linux that work well across many different Linux-based platforms (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/initial-flatpak-support-arrives-for-windows-subsystem-for-linux\/\">even the Windows Subsystem for Linux<\/a>). Flathub says it currently offers 2,000 apps from over 1,500 collaborators, with around 700,000 app downloads each day.<\/p>\n<p>The Flathub team has outlined its plans for 2023 in a blog post, explaining that the team will scale up operations and split off from the GNOME Foundation. The post says, \u201cwe plan to establish an independent legal entity to own and operate Flathub which reduces risk for the GNOME Foundation, better reflects the independent and cross-desktop interests of Flathub, and provides flexibility in the future should we need to change the structure.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1263px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-877739\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Screenshot-2023-03-07-at-1.57.13-PM.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Flathub image\" width=\"1263\" height=\"834\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The in-development Flathub web redesign<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Flathub is currently testing <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/beta.flathub.org\/\">a new web version of the store<\/a>, as well as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.jimmac.eu\/2023\/flathub-brand-refresh\/\">a full rebrand with a new logo<\/a>. The team is also working on a verification feature that will inform people if an app is published by the original developer, or if the app is repackaged into Flatpak format by an unrelated developer or group. Other long-term goals include filters for verified apps, directly uploading apps to Flathub, automated publishing tools for developers, and enhanced security.<\/p>\n<p>Flatpak already has wide acceptance in the Linux community, especially since it\u2019s not tied to a specific app repository. Flathub is the most popular, but the Elementary OS AppCenter <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.elementary.io\/elementary-os-6-odin-released\/\">switched to Flatpaks in 2021<\/a>. The main competitor to Flatpak and Flathub is Snap and the Snap Store, which is developed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu Linux.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, Flathub\u2019s revamp will get the Linux ecosystem closer to a simple and cohesive app experience, which has been sorely needed for a <em>long<\/em> time.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/discourse.flathub.org\/t\/flathub-in-2023\/3808\">Flathub<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
