You can even connect e.g. Android devices with each other! No PC/laptop needed!
To 1.: dri
instead of all
would handle hardware-accelerated rendering. Then some webcams or controllers won’t be accessible though. This one’s a bit complicated, since the necessary portals for e.g. generic USB device access aren’t yet there.
To 2.: portals should be used instead of that. Using them doesn’t require these permissions.
To 3.: click on details and see. This is Flathub making it easy to understand for users.
Permissions should make clear whatever dangerous things an app can do. If not, why do all this effort of isolation? Firefox could delete everything in downloads, either by accident on Mozilla’s side, or a privilege escalation. If the app used portals instead, it couldn’t, at least without user interaction. Or a browser security vulnerability could open up any USB devices to webpages. It’s all about what could happen with granted permissions. And these can 100 % be fixed in at least some way.
Apps could start improving to remove the warnings…
Well you do you. I don’t see the point in hating open source software made by them, you’re not paying them unlike with regular products and boycotting them.
You’re complaining about corporate fundings. Without them, a lot of open source tech would definitely not be as advanced as it is today. Since everything’s open source, anyone can just fork a project when some “malicious megacorp” “hijacks” the project. Funny how a similar case happened “the good way” recently with Redis/Valkey, but the other way around.
There’s always some doomers only seeing potential bad futures in awesome stuff, huh?

There’s an in-development program for GNOME called Valent. It’s been pretty solid for me. It’s also not a GNOME shell extension, instead a native app.
Some JetBrains IDEs are fully open source. Does Adobe have anything like that?
It’s not likely that the driver will be mainlined anytime soon, so no. It’s the same as with the proprietary kernel driver, except maybe some being able to patch problems with newer kernel versions by themselves.
It does something different and doesn’t ask to replace sudo everywhere. You brainless trashtalkers can’t even read an article before you judge.
What PR? And what about the missing API that satisfies every/most desktops’ needs?
And any GNOME user who needs that can use the extension. I don’t really get the point, apart from philosophy, which doesn’t really make sense here since nothing perfect exists yet, which GNOME seemingly doesn’t like implementing. Maybe some work towards that would be good, but I’m just someone using software for free, without paying anything.
As is, the current GNOME is unusable to me without extensions because they refuse to implement support for appindicators. You literally cannot use applications that minimize to tray on vanilla GNOME right now. They have been talking about adding their own protocol for years but that is of no use when things are broken right now.
So what, just use the extension. Currently no cross-desktop API for systrays that doesn’t suck in one or another way exists, so GNOME doesn’t have support for them. If you care that much about not using an extension, implement it for yourself.
some people need to grow up lol
I can use the IzzyOnDroid repo with the regular F-Droid app, am I missing out on or doing anything wrong?
They have like 3 different, official codebases and clients (and so many 3rd party ones) for so many platforms. No other app I know of is like that, not really a great example imo
The only downside I found was the lack of installing games outside the home directory.
Make additional locations like /mnt/c
available to the Steam flatpak with e.g. Flatseal or the raw flatpak cli then
So is it pretty much an unofficial Spin then?
