I’m gonna dip my toes into volunteering as a Flatpak/Flathub developer advocate—basically, providing a human contact at a real company that can help larger apps/companies get their apps in front of Linux (and thus Steam Deck!) users.

What are some of the biggest apps you think are missing from Flathub—or for apps already there, which are the ones you’d like to see verified?

@cassidy I'd love for the @bitwarden client to be officially supported as well as the beeper client! Those are the two missing apps in my opinion

@Adaoh for sure; I messaged @bitwarden a while back on a support forum or something, but I'd love to pick that conversation back up.

@bitwarden @cassidy @Adaoh It’s not a distribution, it’s a package manager…

Just thought I’d say :)

@orbitalmartian @noodlejetski @bitwarden @Adaoh (this is a pointless semantics argument and I’ll probably regret chiming in, but…) sure, Flatpak is not a Linux distribution, but Bitwarden on Flathub is a distribution of Bitwarden.

@cassidy @noodlejetski @bitwarden @Adaoh but it means my point is still valid, so I don't get why people are trying to argue with me... I don't care whether semantics or not, it's still right.

@orbitalmartian @bitwarden @cassidy @Adaoh there's a very high chance that they're *not* as dumb as you think they are, and didn't use "distribution" in the "Linux distro" sense.

@noodlejetski @bitwarden @cassidy @Adaoh I'm not saying their dumb, I'm saying that there is a mistake, doesn't mean dumb.

@orbitalmartian @bitwarden @cassidy @Adaoh okay then, you're right! you've impressed all of us today with how correct you are! enjoy your hard earned victory on the internet dot com!

edit: absolute LMAO at the lack of self-awareness below

@noodlejetski @bitwarden @cassidy @Adaoh well, no need to be sarcastic or idiotic... You started this argument and I am hereby sending it by blocking you. Thanks for reminding me how petty some people on the internet are.

@bitwarden @cassidy @Adaoh

I'd be more than happy to hand over maintenance of this Flatpak upstream 👍
