Is there a way to filter FlatHub for open-source software? I tried it a while ago involuntarily, because it got automatically enabled in the KDE package manager UI, and then I immediately nuked it when I realized, I had accidentally installed some proprietary software off of it...
it's extremely obvious when it's proprietary and when it's not
Kde's discover is balls, gnome software store is a whole lot better in this case
Well, this was a while ago. I do know that Discover now at least shows whether an application is from the normal package repository or from FlatHub. They probably also show the license somewhere by now.
But yeah, it being obvious isn't really good enough for me, in the sense that I currently simply have FlatHub completely disabled, because I do not care for having the proprietary noise in between. It makes Discover worse for me, because it becomes harder to find software I want. And then, yeah, I just figured I'd ask, because I do think it's silly for me to shun a whole technology due to some presentation issue...
