org.chromium.Chromium VS com.obsproject.Studio

Seems like it's a buggy wayland fractional scalling implementation... It's reverted in the chromium flatpak https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium/commit/eea7af903decb3a3b9bb6fdacbb55d24a90e18f3

My philosophy has been to let the distro package manager handle system packages (kernel, OpenSSL, etc) but then use flatpak [1] to install user progs like Chromium and VSCode so I get bleeding edge releases and sandboxing.

If it helps I'm using https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.chromium.Chromium along with https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

You can inspect how Chromium is built on Flatpak here: https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium

Oh that doesn't work? Hmm I wonder if you could try the executable listed at https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.chromium.Chromium and put that in your config?

No need to trust anything, unlike snaps, the way they're distributed is public and open source: https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium

Would a workaround be installing chromium from flathub, and using that for browsing? https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.chromium.Chromium

The "see details" link takes you to: https://github.com/flathub/com.obsproject.Studio/graphs/contributors/

With official packages, I have even more questions. Example: OBS Studio. The publisher link points to this repo, which is currently archived, with the message "This repository is no longer used to build OBS. Issues should be reported at https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio". After some digging, I found they're using Github Actions to automatically publish to Flathub on release, which is fine (and pretty cool), but I would still prefer that Flathub provide some kind of records on their end. What assurances do I have that the package installed on my machine from Flathub is the one that was built by upstream? Maybe they have something and I'm not looking in the right place.

Big news for Linux users: We now officially ship OBS Studio via Flatpak (in addition to the PPA), greatly expanding support for more distros and providing a much more consistent experience, no matter your environment. Download it from Flathub here - https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.obsproject.Studio

OBS (stream/rec): Flatpak, Steam(?)

There is obs-studio package in Debian, try using that. Alternatively, you could install it as a Flatpak via Flathub (there were also recent news of OBS Project is making it their official Linux package instead of Ubuntu PPA).

I'm not the only one. The issue tracker is full of people having serious issues like, y'know "Doesn't work at all" and "No fonts," and "Crashes on Alt-Tab," etc.
