From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Flatpak-remotes: A list of public Flatpak repositories (github.com)

A while ago I was looking for a list of available Flatpak repositories but didnt find one, so I made my own.

Note that most developers put everything stable onto Flathub. But there are a ton of other remotes I found, most are for development, beta and nightly things, but there is also a Firefox ESR remote and more interesting stuff to find.

I want this list to be complete so if you know any more please open a PR or Issue!

(I used this list to include a few more tutorials like Flathub subsections)

Thank you, that's a really useful list. A week or so ago I didn't know there was an (unofficial) Firefox Nightly flatpak remote, so I had to use a tarball. This would've saved me a bit of time.

I also didn't know flathub subsets for verified/floss apps were already available.

The nightly Flatpaks are made from the Tarballs, pretty cool.

A PPA comeback?

I'd call it ppa without the drawbacks, aka. breaking the OS on upgrade (from wrongly packaged or out of date ppas).
