I wanna buy a PostmarketOS compatible device someday.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. /j, obviously.

Both have nonfree stuff in there.

But flatpak’s backend is open source and self-hostable, while snap’s is proprietary and not self-hostable. Flatpak is the lesser of evils from this point of view.

Native apps will always be better, imo. I think less apps should use PWAs. No offense to those who use them, though. It’s just my personal preference.

This is why F-Droid exists.

In theory, I could just have a downloadable .apk for Android to circumvent the fee but most people don’t want to install a random .apk from the internet.

You could’ve considered F-Droid.

Soo, yeah that’ll probably not happen :(.

It’s sad. Anyway, good luck with future development!

No, optionally free is not enough.

Cool project! Is there any plans on releasing a mobile app in the future? I’m allergic to PWAs.

the most popular distribution still uses Snap

Ubuntu is the most popular? On server maybe, on desktop I doubt it.

Flatpak does not support CLI only applicatoins

It is not true. You can install Neovim as flatpak, for example.

Also some may like it more that Snap relies on AppArmor instead using the custom solution of Flatpak.

It only means, that on distros without AppArmor you get almost no sandboxing of snap applications.

The only advantage snap has is the ability to package drivers as snaps. Other than that there’s simply no reason to choose proprietary-backed snap over flatpak.

EDIT: Typos.

Snap? Can we not?

Libretube gives the error for me either straight away or after a few videos. Sometimes using a VPN and changing servers all the time helps.

Have you tried disabling the Piped proxy?

FreeTube is a desktop only app unfortunately.

I’ve linked FreeTube Android in my first comment, actually.

We can’t choose for you, unfortunately, only give you advice. My advice question is: Kubuntu and Debian (KDE Neon too, iirc) are an LTS distros, why would you chose them given your criteria?

For myself, I can recommend Bazzite or Aurora, if you are okay with using an immudable distro. They are both Fedora Atomic based, but Bazzite is gaming first, while Aurora is a general purpose distro.

openSUSE Tumbleweed is also amazing. It is rolling and generally one of the best KDE experiences you can get. It also has a snapper tool, which lets you to rollback to the state before the update or even further.

LibreTube works just fine if you disable proxying. FreeTube / FreeTubeCordova also works perfectly fine.

KDE, because it has all the features I need and also because I love theming and while QT apps can be themed pretty easily, GTK theming is somewhere between being absolutely horrible and non-existance.

Shiori is also good.

Omnivore is not easy to self-host and now I understand why.

Sway is cool, but no support for Nvidia proprietary drivers, unfortunately.

It seems like a dream come true for Linux phones.

What’s free about delisting maintainers based on their country of residence?

It was expected. This is how “free” development becomes a victim of not at all free dogmas. It is also how already fragmented Linux development becomes even more fragmented.
