We’re back with some new milestones thanks to the continued growth of Flathub as an app store and the incredible work of both our largely volunteer team and our growing app developer community:
- 70% of the most popular apps are verified
- 100+ curated quality apps
- 4 million active users
- Over 2 billion downloads
Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.
Thank you for acknowledging the positive development. It’s so nice to see some appreciation for the effort put into solving our issues. I’m so tired of all the complaints and outrage about this or that solution, be it flatpak, appimage, snap or whatever.
