    I think it’s still important to explain the key difference between an “app store” and a package repository: the latter isn’t a “store” because everything is free.

      True but it helps get the concept across so much.

        Did I just heard that right? Flathub wants to charge for software?

          Yes. Flathub wants to become a platform where people and companies can sell their software

            Well hey, as long as these participating devs maintain that their software remains FOSS, I’d pay up. They do a lot of good work, can’t do it all for free.
