[$] The future of Flatpak
At the Linux ApplicationSummit (LAS) in April, Sebastian Wick said that, by many metrics, Flatpak is doing great. The Flatpakapplication-packaging format is popular with upstream developers, andwith many users. More and more applications are being published in theFlathub application store, and theformat is even being adopted by Linux distributions likeFedora. However, he worried that work on the Flatpak project itselfhad stagnated, and that there were too few developers able to reviewand merge code beyond basic maintenance.
