Chill out. They've release debs and rpms for years as well, is that EEE?

I think maybe CameronDev assumed this meant running flatpak packages inside Chrome which was actually my first interpretation as well

I think Flathub has actually received financial support from one of the previous Google CEO’s non profits in the past.

This is a request for $100k in funding from Flathub. On this page it states

The Open Source Software Virtual Incubator is now archived, but proposals are still available to view in this repository. Plaintext Group was a nonpartisan, technology innovation policy initiative developed by Schmidt Futures. For more information, see https://www.schmidtfutures.com/our-work/plaintext/.

Anyway, I think it’s fine, and have previously considered the governance of the Gnome Foundation as more weird.

While the GNOME Project was founded in 1997,[7]the GNOME Foundation was officially founded on 5 March 2001[1] by CompaqEazelHelix CodeIBMRed HatSun Microsystems, and VA Linux Systems
