I'm very curious why the latest version of Cozy didn't get on Flathub until today, when it's 2 years old. I thought there was finally a brand new version, but then I found it was just an old one I hadn't gotten before. Does this happen often with flatpaks/Flathub? Can't remember regular packages ever falling so far behind (but I'm sure they have :))
Just curious.
Can you help me troubleshoot a Linux issue?
Have you experienced issues with the Typesetter editor for Typst (or other Flatpak appplications) failing to launch from the desktop menu after logging out and back in? The context is this issue I have on Linux Mint Cinnamon.

@organicmaps Thanks for maintaining a #flatpak Linux version - especially useful on #LinuxMobile.

because I keep biting off more than I can chew. I wanted to release a small utility first to get familiar again with #GNOME / #GTK / #Flatpak development.
also something that I need myself. a week worth of hacking.

If you're using #Ubuntu or a derivative, and the default Snap version of #Firefox: use Mozilla's #Flatpak from flathub instead. Snappier on complex sites especially, and behaves better & cleaner on #Wayland. This also keeps sandboxing vs. using a plain binary package.
(This also goes for the #LibreWolf flatpak.)

The highlights of Flathub in 2025.
Or in simple words, in five years, Flathub’s yearly download volume has increased by more than fifteen times.

Could not get the excellent @lisamelton's `transcode-video.rb` to work on my machine, because flatpak. My ruby skills are too rusty to enable me to adapt it, but it did spit out a proper set of HandBrakeCLI args for me, so I pasted those that into this:

In AppCenter we now show a simple percentage-based app rating when ratings are available from ODRS—the same ratings server used by apps like GNOME Software. When developers provide screenshots for multiple platforms, we now show you the ones intended for elementary OS. We’ve added support for app addons, and we now show when a game supports playing with controllers
Censor, a new document redaction tool, is there!
It allows to draw black rectangles on PDF documents and to permanently remove the text and images below. Find it on @Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/censor/Censor, get it from @flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg.censor.Censor, or translate it on Codeberg Translate: https://translate.codeberg.org/engage/censor!
It is a free and open-source graphical user interface (GUI) for #Linux and the #GNOME desktop, and uses the #MuPDF library with its #python bindings from the #PyMuPDF module.
OK #fedora users: how are you doing Signal on desktop?
It is a sad day, at the same time I look back and realize the journey was beautiful and taught me a lot.
I am no longer running a 100% #guix system. I got tired of things breaking, being removed without warning or explanation, undocumented things, cryptic error messages.
I am but one person and cannot afford to debug stuff everyday.
I therefore took the pragmatic choice of scripting some things on top of #fedora and spread the risk, with #guix #nix #flatpak and #dnf packages.

Typesetter is a nice offline Typst editor with automatic preview. It runs on Linux and comes with Typst built-in, so it's not necessary to also install the compiler.
RE: https://oldbytes.space/@amoroso/115610019993332860
The Flatpak package of Typesetter has a weird issue on Linux Mint: if I switch to a different user account and back into the previous account the program no longer starts. A reboot fixes the issue.
Any insight?
Easily back up and restore your Flatpak apps when switching distros or reinstalling your system.
