Parent article: Fedora discusses Flatpak priorities

Keep in mind that we're talking about Fedora's software center, so the upstream version from Flathub is considered third-party; you do not see it at all unless you click the "Enable third-party software" button (which users are, in fairness, encouraged to click). Only the Fedora Flatpak and Fedora RPM are available by default. (But yes, from upstream's perspective, the official Fedora packages are certainly the third-party ones....)

That could easily be seen as even worse ... you don't see the original project flatpack, but because it's a flatpack it doesn't cross your mind it might be that self-contradictory beast - a distro-specific flatpack ...

Cheers,
