org.videolan.VLC VS flathub

I went to update today and sometimes i'll get like 10-15 updates after a couple days but today I see 75(!) updates. I went to check the manifest github page to see some of the changes because I like to keep up with what changed. However, for the first time that I remember ever being the case, I have updates for flatpaks that have not committed any changes. For example VLC hasn't had anything new in over a month.

Go into Desktop Mode and click the install button on this page to install VLC.

VLC should be able to do it.

Alternatively you might want to try the flatpak version of VLC. I personally use it and can recommend it.

https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.videolan.VLC - just click the install button and follow the on screen instructions.

I'm using the Flatpak version 3.0.17.4 on Ubuntu 20.04 and see a lot of entries. I tried also 3.0.9.2 from the distribution and there are not even two pages of entries.

No, flatpak doesn't use distributions package managers. It doesn't need RPM/DEB packages to work. Today if you want to distribute a flatpak application, you build it once, upload it to flathub.org and it will show up in countless distributions like SteamOS 3 and Pop_OS!.

if you wanna install in terminal using flatpak please go to : https://flathub.org/ to make your life easier.

Yes you can install anything available here https://flathub.org/

Flathub: https://flathub.org

All flathub.org flatpaks are available in Discover. You can have a look there to see if you can find what you need. Discord, Spotify, Zoom, MS Teams and ONLYOFFICE (if you need good MS Office compatibility) are all there. I think it comes with Firefox pre-installed, but I'm pretty sure the Deck UI's non-steam tab comes with a one-click installer for Chrome, if that's more your speed. There's also a Chromium flatpak in Discover.

The Discover store is the KDE application for installing/updating/removing things - which in the Steam Deck is used to handle Flatpaks from Flathub.

Linux users typically do not install software like this, we use a package manager (a bit like the app stores on phones) to install stuff instead. SteamOS comes with Flatpak, so you can go over to FlatHub and start installing stuff.

You can install anything from https://flathub.org/.
