     @itsfoss i think at the very least, Fedora should have clearly labeled the unofficial package as unofficial. But calling the OBS devs "bad" is simple lashing out, and was not warranted.

     @itsfoss I thought this was one of the benefits of flatpack? Anyone can run a repository...

     @ryanjyoder Yes, but a broken Flatpak package that users might mistake for the official one doesn't look for OBS, does it?

     @itsfoss I don't get it. Why would someone even provide unofficial packages?

     @diegopappalardo Possible for offering a tailored experience for the users of Fedora, but it can backfire if not done correctly.
