Flathub: A Paradigm Shift for Distributing Applications

This conference talk explores how Flathub revolutionized application distribution by enabling developers to publish directly to users. Jordan Petridis, a GNOME contributor and Release Team member with expertise in Flatpak, CI/CD, and application development, discusses the journey of Flathub, the challenges overcome, and its impact on the desktop's future. Learn about the evolution of Linux application distribution from a multimedia software professional who balances release engineering work with gymnastic rings in his spare time. The presentation is part of the Linux App Summit (LAS), an event that unites the global Linux community to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and growth of the Linux application ecosystem through various interactive sessions.
