With the Steam Frame and Steam Machine launching with SteamOS Linux this year, we're going to again see a nice boost for Flatpaks and desktop Linux overall.

With the Steam Frame and Steam Machine launching with SteamOS Linux this year, we’re going to again see a nice boost for Flatpaks and desktop Linux overall.

Linux has, historically, been quite messy when it comes to software distribution. We have various distribution-specific packaging formats like .deb (Debian / Ubuntu), .rpm (Fedora) and the list just goes on and on. Canonical also went their own way with Ubuntu for the likes of Snap, but the real winner is going to end up being Flatpak and the main Flathub store.

    For the specs described 600 would be the most sold computer of the year. Even 800 would be reasonable seeing the prices around. I can’t justify because I already have a much more powerful & expensive desktop.
