I wasted my time browsing through the drama.

The idea behind it is really for corporate uses of Fedora/GNOME. Sysadmins, through Fedora Flatpack, can re-package certain software from Flathub in accordance with their draconian corporate policies.

As a person that has had to endure stupid corporate policies and since Fedora is _mostly_ used in corporate workstation. I can understand this.

What I don't understand why it's the _default_ to prefer Fedora Flatpack software over Flathub. For people that are just getting into linux, I can see why that's painful and the UX to be terrible.

"I installed Z software. It installed some junk re-package. I only realized it installed junk re-package after a week of investigation. Installing it from different source and now it works. Thanks, Fedora! I wasted a week of my time!"
