The OBS Studio open-source screencasting and streaming app has called out Fedora’s poor Flatpak packaging of the application and is threatening as going as far as legal action if it isn’t addressed.

Flathub in Discover app on Fedora KDE:

Kinda arrogant to host their own OBS Flatpak that doesn’t work as it should and redirecting users to it when using the GUI.

And as they are a version behind in their own “Fedora Flatpaks” it now loops too:

    Users actually do have the option to change it, you can change both the order, disable their own flatpak repo and decide if you want rpm or flatpak as the default source. If you do disable their flatpak repo the warning shown in the OP disappears:

      TIL that Discover let’s you change it. AFAIK there’s no way in Gnome Software though

        Ah, I haven’t looked into disabling Fedora Flatpaks in GNOME Software. A quick search only returns how to remove it all together and not sure how the GNOME Software reacts to doing that.

        WARNING - THIS WILL REMOVE ANY FLATPAKS INSTALLED FROM FEDORA FLATPAKS
