GNOME Software already has a hidden setting for this:
Yes and it should be configured to "['RPM', 'flatpak']" for all non-ostree Fedora variants (Workstation, Spins).
When the Flathub filtering is removed, most Fedora packages will be silently replaced by Flatpaks, some of them very low quality (DEB rebuids) because the Flathub versions are always greater than in Fedora.
It defaults to Flatpaks because they are sandboxed and are much safer than unsandboxed applications.

However, I believe Flatpaks built from Fedora RPMs should take precedence over Flatpaks built from Flathub.
Fedora Flatpaks are almost dead. Let's check this page: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/releases/ Fedora 36: 22867 (RPMs) vs. 104 (Flatpaks). Fedora 35: 29801 (RPMs) vs. 104 (Flatpaks). Fedora 34: 35742 (RPMs) vs. 92 (Flatpaks).
Flathub should only be preferred when there is no Fedora Flatpak available.
I don't see it in the proposal. -- Sincerely, Vitaly Zaitsev (vit...@easycoding.org) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
