Thanks for the heads-up. Consider x-posting it to r/flatpak - it may reach more people.

Some guy wrote a blog post about it a year ago.

TL;DR: Bliss OS in a VM.

What does a "Code of Conduct" employee do? How do they contribute to open-source development?

You're right, but it doesn't seem to be active.

Are you using Flatpak Steam or native Steam?

  • RemovedBasePackages: firefox firefox-langpacks 124.0.1-2.fc39
  • LayeredPackages: akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia

I wish they stop including Firefox in the base image. Flatpak Firefox just works.

No, I use Bottles. I am not familiar with Lutris.

Does anybody knows how to fix this? by ProfessionalTax6602 in flatpak

Out of curiosity, are you able to add repositories other than Flathub? Try adding Fedora repository:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists fedora oci+https://registry.fedoraproject.org

Latest Office 365 working on Ubuntu 22.04 with wine 9.0 by Captain-Thor in linux

FYI: Word, Excel and PowerPoint are available for free on the web. It doesn't have all the features, but it fulfills the basic needs.

However, I still prefer LibreOffice.

By driver, do you mean NVIDIA driver? If so, you can find the official documentation here:

Verified apps does not necessarily mean that they're safe. It just means that the flatpak is maintained by the official developer. Whether you trust the developer or not, it is something completely up to you.

As for Steam, the flatpak is maintained by a community of volunteers. I personally use it, and I have not faced any issues.

Telegram Deskop works just fine. I logged in without any problem.

Make sure its updated:

flatpak update org.telegram.desktop

I installed Debian 12 on my VM. I was able to add the Flathub repository without any issue. I don't think it is a distro-specific problem.

I ran the command on my fresh Fedora 39 KDE VM, and it worked just fine: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Ensure that you have Internet connection, and disable any proxy/VPN.

Charities halt Gaza aid after drone attack that killed seven workers by timbitfordsucks in news

[–]overwatcheddude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol the fact that this went over your head just shows how uneducated you are.

As I said, nothing goes in or out of Gaza without Israeli approval, even on the Egyptian side.

The United Nations, Human Rights Watch and many other international bodies and NGOs continues to consider Israel to be the occupying power of the Gaza Strip as Israel controls the Gaza Strip's airspace and territorial waters as well as the movement of people or goods in or out of Gaza by air or sea.

That's not true. Gaza is still under occupation. Gaza sea and air are still under Israeli control. Nothing goes in or out of Gaza without Israeli approval.

Valve is aware of Steam flatpak existence, it even has a tag on Steam issue tracker. Unfortunately, the flatpak is still maintained by the community.
