Actually, the better question is: When will they replace most desktop Linux programs?

    Well, I can’t give you a better example of the effect of auditing softwares for your desktop. One source, Fedora, had the app patched, while the other, official on flathub, published the flawed version on purpose.

    You’d prefer to run the flatpak version of audacity with the spyware on? I don’t buy that.

    Flathub is designed to allow developers to publish their own software in the way they intended. So Flathub and Flatpak are doing exactly what they’re designed to do

    Okay, so it’s another way to phrase that you really preferred the version of flatpak with the spyware, since it’s the version intended by Audacity. With flatpak and flathub you are alone.

    Fedora and their maintainers offer you a layer of no-nonsense, you should think twice before writing it off. I don’t think that you fully realize the quality of what you have right now in your hands in term of desktop. Popularity has a price and Windows users paid the price for it.
