Phoronix: Fedora 35 Approved For Third-Party Repo Changes, More Optimal Encryption Default

The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) has unanimously approved a large number of new Fedora 35 this week...

"Enabling third-party repositories will now create a Flathub remote that is a filtered view of Flathub."

Yes! This minor comment is actually a big deal. More detailed info what this means here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Filtered_Flathub_Applications

"Enabling third-party repositories will now create a Flathub remote that is a filtered view of Flathub. This means that applications on Flathub that have been explicitly approved (by a new process proposed here) will be available in GNOME Software and on the flatpak command line. If the user follows following the instructions on https://flatpak.org/setup/Fedora/, then the filter is removed, and the user gets a full view of Flathub. "

This mean Fedora will make it strait forward to enable the Flathub repository. Hopefully this also implies that Fedora Silverblue 35 will finally do away with its own flatpak repo and just enable a filtered version of Flathub. A filter that can easily be disabled in order to have all applications available from Flathub.

So far the filtered remote has only a handful of apps, so not a big deal yet.

Most people will want to enable the full flathub though as the filter will be restrictive.
