Flatpak is kind of annoying anyway. I rarely use it for updates. Thanks for sharing this!

Agreed. Everything I've used flatpak based has acted funny. But that's not the point, is it? When a company and distro decide what you can and can't use, is it really free and open source?

Does 'open source' include all vendors and third-party associations as well, or just the code for the operating system?

Android is a close code example of Linux being used. Ubuntu claims to still be "free and open source". So, at least to me, free and open source would mean maintaining your own package system, but giving people easy access to other options should they need or want it.
