Flatpak had been in a bit of a lull in development, but anyone who has worked in dev understands that can happen. While I still prefer native 1st, there is no doubt that systems like Flatpak are a big part of the Linux desktop now, like it or not. #Linux #FOSS

Early release this week as they prepare for larger updates to systemd, KDE Plasma, & Gnome next week. There will be no Friday sync to provide more testing. Just 1 of the reasons I like this style of rolling distro!
