I guess Fedora users are supposed to use flatpak from now on. Between this and the recent VAAPI controversy Fedora starts to lose some of that shine that made it appealing for me for many years:

I wonder why way smaller distributions are fine with maintaining LibreOffice, but Red Hat supposedly doesn't have enough resources to keep it going.
- PlutoIsAPlanet 3y agoI think you’re confusing packaging and maintaining. Red Hat helps maintain the Linux port, as in actually paying people to keep it supporting Linux, vs just packaging it and keeping the package up to date.
- freedomben 3y agoOn the VAAPI thing, do you disagree with their legal analysis? Do you think they can ship patent-encumbered algorithms? I think it sucks, but it would suck far more to see Fedora/Red Hat hit with legal challenges over it. It's also not usually a huge deal. This is the sort of thing that RPM Fusion has been great for many years.
- dralley 3y agoSUSE also followed suit with VAAPI, so apparently their legal team doesn't disagree.
