Being someone who doesn't fully understand AppArmor vs SELinux, how well do snaps work on Fedora?
There is nothing "unsafe" about flatpak. In fact for every package on flathub you can see exactly what the "unofficial" packagers do in the corresponding github repository. For example here is the repository for Spotify, if you look at the json manifest file you can see they are repackaging the "official" Snap with the necessary libraries and scripts to support it running as a flatpak. Everything there is open source and able to be examined.
- Food for thought
- Spotify with dark theme titlebar
-
Are flatpaks that are unverified safe?
If you click on the "Manifest" link for the package on flathub, it will take you to where the code that packages the app resides. There you can review exactly what the packager does in the json manifest. Here's the one for the Spotify client, for example, which shows where it pulls in dependencies and where it downloads the proprietary code from (in this case they base it on the snap) and what commands it executes while packaging the flatpak.

How to get Spotify to launch?
Try installing it via Flatpak
-
Flathub's index now shows you which apps are verified
Flatpaks builds are made to be reproducible. Everything is done openly and you can check how the apps like for example Spotify where made.
- Install software using normal account instead of an administrator account

Problem with spotify install
Why not just use the flatpak?
-
Error about connecting to snapcraft.io showed up while updating spotify flatpak.
Judging by the manifest, the Spotify Flatpak is built from the Spotify Snap.

Steam flatpak forgets drives
Hi I've been recently using the steam flatpak instead of the rpm package from the rpm fusion repos here on fedora 38. Everything has been going swell except one thing. I have two drives with steam libraries on them other than the default one steam creates. I can add these through the storage manager but when I restart my computer steam often but not always forgets them. Meaning most of the time when I boot my computer I have to go into the storage manager in steam and re-select the library folders and then it remembers my installed games. I've already had an issue open on the github for the steam flatpak but alas nothing yet https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/issues/1075. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue and if anyone knows how I could remedy this so the drives are there on boot. I did get two other people with the issue on github but no solutions.

Since updating to Fedora 38, Japanese fonts no longer work properly in multiple apps
I recently updated from Fedora Silverblue 36 to 38, and now Japanese fonts are no longer working properly in multiple apps. Before, they would display correctly, but now I get rectangles instead of the proper characters. Examples of affected apps are Steam and Lifeograph (both installed via Flatpak).
