“Improved build validation, increased moderation, and the long-awaited switch to libappstream” by @barthalion
Heads up to app developers: Flathub’s automatic build validation is more thorough now, and includes checks for issues we previously would have only flagged manually. There’s a chance that if your app has been passing continuous integration checks previously, it will fail now; here’s why, and what to do about it:

If you use the #flatpak version of #deltachat_desktop and it crashes 💥 when you click on notifications or unread chats -> you can disable notifications as workaround to get rid of the crashes.
We unfortunately haven't found a solution for this problem yet. 😢
Seems to be related to a libnotify portal + electron issue.

People familiar with Flatpak and Blender... want to help Blender on board with Flatpak, officially upstream?
There's an open issue with initial tasks to be completed: projects.blender.org/blender/b…
They could use some help around packaging and permissions. :)

Flatpak package for Linux releases
Blender on Linux is already available as a Snap package. Flatpak seems to be the more popular format at least on non-Ubuntu based distributions, so it would sense to officially support it as well.Blender Projects

Resources is a modern interface for managing your system's processes and your open applications. See what programs you have running, and kill the apps that are wasting resources. If you want to see if that helped, you can view the usage graphs for your processor, memory, GPU and more. With Resources, keeping your system in check has never been easier!

Frog is such a neat little Linux desktop app to extract text from images.
You can give it an image (file selector, drag & drop) or let it take a screenshot. And you can even paste an image from your clipboard!
This is great for adding alt text when posting an image or copying text (as text) from a screenshot for sharing (or adding to UI mockups, as I often do).
It also reads QR codes and supports several languages.

#Linux #desktop #app #Gnome #OCR #Flatpak #Flathub
Georges Stavracas is currently putting a lot of effort into a really nice project roadmap, spreadsheet and task board for XDG Desktop Portals:
@dino 0.4.3 just got released with some exciting improvements for #LinuxMobile
1. Several fixes for touch input, making audio/video calls actually usable on phones
2. Fixes for video support so devices with #libcamera / #pipewire support like the #PinePhonePro work now
3. The app is now recognized as mobile friendly on #Phosh
4. Stricter #Flatpak sandbox - no device/all any more
The new version is available on #Flathub and lots of distro repos.
The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.
I went on to write:
>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.
While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.

Alright, here's a response article to @martijnbraam's "Developers are lazy, thus Flatpak". I'll be addressing some of their claims by explaining why some of the design decisions make sense the way they are.

Thanks! (Can I claim a third pack by reporting a bug my patch introduced? :D)
I think Month of LibreOffice & the sticker packs are a great way to get more people involved long-term - after all the first patch/translation/bug report is often the most cumbersome one due to all the setup overhead.
I always try to lower the barriers I bump into along the way, eg. submitted this patch to #fedora to include all build debs ootb:

Flathub's Getting a New Logo – and it's a Flawless Fit - OMG! Linux
“Wow!” — my reaction when I first saw the brand new logo for Flathub. The de-facto Flatpak app store for Linux that every other post on this site seems toJoey Sneddon (OMG! Linux)
Years ago elementary was approached by Canonical to become an official Ubuntu flavor. “All” we had to do was offer Snap out of the box. We debated it—being able to offload some additional infrastructure concerns was attractive—but we realized it helped Canonical more than it helped us, and we had chosen Flatpak for all of its benefits as covered here:
