Red Hat donates $10,000 to OBS Studio, Flatpak to be official for Linux

It seems they're going to be moving their official Linux packages over to Flatpak rather than a PPA for Ubuntu.

Good news on one side (10k for OBS) and bad news on the other side. 😂

Why bad news? It means that there's an universal package with official support for every distro instead of them just supporting Debian/Ubuntu and everything else being just... kinda there and unnoficial.

I am not in favour of these flatpacks/snaps or whatever these things are called. Packages should be distro packages, always. And the vendor of the software should never be responsible of packaging, thats literally the job of the distribution.
