But it’s interesting that Gnome Wayland still has some unexpectedly worse results in a few cases, altough it’s not a reason to choose any desktop over another.
I wonder if this is down to them taking KDE Neon and installing Gnome 42. Personally I’ve experienced dependency and config file issues when installing Gnome on a Plasma system/installing Plasma on a Gnome system.
Also seems utterly bizarre to me that they’re choosing to benchmark a 2 year old release of Gnome against the just-released Plasma 6 which most distros haven’t even packaged yet. They should be comparing against Gnome 45 or 46.
Is it just me, or is this happening more on the snap store than on Flathub? Or is it just down to reporting.
Seems weird considering there’s, at least on paper, more checks on uploads to the Snap store than to FlatHub (although their checks are evidently not very comprehensive!)
I’m not going to shit on Canonical too much (for once) here, because any app distribution platform with a low barrier to entry will invariably get bad actors trying to abuse it from time to time — we see it even on much more locked-down and better funded app stores, like Apple’s App Store and on Google Play.
This will be a growing problem for both Snap and FlatHub. Moderating them will take resources, and there’s already a shortage of that in the FOSS world.
They already have?
