Yeah I get that SteamOS wouldn’t, but Valve themselves have explicitly stated people should use Flatpaks, not distro repos or Snaps (perhaps with an exception for Arch repos if what you say is correct).
Seems very weird to me.

I assumed this was already the case but regardless this is a great change!
I hope more developers get their apps verified. It boggles my mind that the Steam flatpak isn’t verified, for example (even more bizarre is that Valve encourage people to use the Steam flatpak despite it being unofficial!)
Hopefully the Flathub website, Gnome, Cinnamon, and now Plasma showing verified app status will be the kick up the arse devs need.
That’s interesting.
I’m not sure what the real-world difference will be, since Fedora already seemingly puts just as much effort into Plasma as they do Gnome, but even as a symbolic move it’s pretty cool.
I’m going to use this as my Fedora wallpaper and there’s not a damn thing OpenSUSE can do about it
Contibutors in general were not “purged”.
Maintainers (i.e. people who could push patches with very little oversight) from sanctioned Russian companies were removed from their roles.
They can still contribute.
Leave it to a lemmy.ml user to spread misinformation to make Russia look like the victim in this.
Yes, Gnome and KDE have some level of commercial backing.
They still operate on a budget of hundreds of thousands.
Microsoft operates on a budget of tens of billions.
Additionally, don’t Gnome and KDE already have this feature?
E: yes. Gnome at the very least has had this for a long time. I’m struggling to find info on Plasma, as when I search for it I mainly just find endless bug reports (half of it Nvidia-related) clouding the results.
I was just banned from lemmy.ml for not enthusiastically supporting Russia/Putin on the .ml version of this community, which has this same submission lol.
Let’s hope this discussion doesn’t also get brigaded with people supporting the Russian state.

People didn’t just mass-destroy CRTs in 1999…
I bought an LCD TV in 2006 (a Sony Bravia that is still going strong) and that was earlier than most people I know switched
