Is it possible to implement target platform for Flatpaks?
https://github.com/calo001/fondo/issues/141 I stand corrected -- it is not Wayland related, you can see what caused the bug here. But my point is -- it is not meant to be used in anywhere other than elementary OS. If you look at the issues, almost no one is complaining about critical issues on elementary OS -- I can see people installing it on Debian 10, KDE Neon, Ubuntu 20.10, Lubuntu, Fedora 34, and someone even complained about problems when running it on the Pinephone with Phosh. How is that fair to the developer? They are getting bad rep because people are using their software in ways that they are not meant to. It's like complaining about a car crash because no one was in the driver seat.

- ElementaryOS 7 is a buggy mess of a distro. Very disappointed.

[Feature Request] - Pop Shop still does not show where an installation is coming from (normal apt/apt-get, Flatpak, Snap, etc.)
But it's a fork of https://github.com/elementary/appcenter

How to uninstall Mail, Calendar, Tasks in elementary 7?
There's already an open issue about it, and u/daniellefore has a lead on what could be the cause.

PopStore Freezing constantly.
The Pop!Shop isn't based of GNOME Software, but rather Elementary's Appcenter. I'm pretty sure it's a completely separate project. If I remember correctly, System76 worked with Elementary on this app.

Fedora should make their own software center to replace discover and gnome software center
Pop!_OS's "pop shop" is actually not their own creation. They borrowed/adapted it from another Ubuntu based distro ElementaryOS (these two projects seem to have a good working relationship and have borrowed from one another to the benefit of both). But credit where credit is due, the "Pop shop" is an attractive and well branded implementation/fork of the Elementary App Center. The pop team does make this clear on their github but most users seem unaware.

Please make a functional appstore
It works for me, but if you have any problems or a negative experience, describing this issue on GitHub (https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/issues) would be great!

hello I am a new user and I put elementary OS on my laptop and I can't get it Wi-Fi to work any ideas.
Try connecting with ethernet or thether your phone with USB. See here for a solution. Proposed drivers will not install correctly without proper kernel headers though I think it was fixed in a recent update. https://github.com/elementary/appcenter/issues/1603
