The OBS Studio open-source screencasting and streaming app has called out Fedora's poor Flatpak packaging of the application and is threatening as going as far as legal action if it isn't addressed.
Flathub in Discover app on Fedora KDE:
Kinda arrogant to host their own OBS Flatpak that doesn't work as it should and redirecting users to it when using the GUI.
And as they are a version behind in their own "Fedora Flatpaks" it now loops too:
Because with the immutable distros .rpm isn't a good match but they still want to make use of their own controls and security regarding packages. Fedora Flatpaks are built from Fedora rpms.
This security of their own caused them to update an EOL runtime into a newer version that had regressions and caused OBS to not function properly leading to the article in the OP.
After the article posted the Fedora flatpak maintainer and OBS has made plans to talk about the situation on Matrix, so I think it'll all solve itself nicely in the end.
