Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there's a good argument the author's concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

Like I said it's less of a problem with KDE, they even got a button to add Flathub specifically in Discover. It's more of a thing with Gnome and Gnome Software where no "Add Flathub" button exists (and also no GUI to add repos -> they have to look up the whole CLI command), so newer users won't necessarily be aware that something rather important is missing.

I see, I probably misunderstood what you were saying. Thanks. I'm seriously considering OpenSUSE myself, for both my workstations and home server.
