A Bitcoin investor was recently scammed out of 9 Bitcoin (worth around $490K) in a fake “Exodus wallet” desktop application for Linux, published in the Canonical Snap Store. This isn’t the first time; if nothing changes, it likely won’t be the last.

        No, my point is that if flat pak doesn’t document that they cryptographically verify the authenticity of packages, then they dont.

        Even the ostree docs say that it supports it gpg encryption. It supports it. It doesn’t enforce it. That depends on the implementation.

        I will continue to harshly criticize projects that leave users vulnerable. Want to prove me wrong? Link me to the flat pak docks that clearly say that all packages are cryptographically verified after download and before upload.

          Look, Flatpak does, and it’s secure. You can spread misinformation if you like but don’t be proud of it.

          You clearly have no capacity to accept new information in good faith.
