Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there's a good argument the author's concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

Flathub not coming preconfigured

Huh, that's odd. I've been test driving different Linux distros lately for my move away from Windows, and Tumbleweed was one of the ones I tried. KDE Discover in Tumbleweed had Flatpak options for software, and I'm pretty sure it was tied to Flathub and not a different repo like Fedora does. Maybe I'm misremembering? Or did you mean that it doesn't have the Flathub application itself?

Like I said it's less of a problem with KDE, they even got a button to add Flathub specifically in Discover. It's more of a thing with Gnome and Gnome Software where no "Add Flathub" button exists (and also no GUI to add repos -> they have to look up the whole CLI command), so newer users won't necessarily be aware that something rather important is missing.

I see, I probably misunderstood what you were saying. Thanks. I'm seriously considering OpenSUSE myself, for both my workstations and home server.
