The Flatpak is already packaged and works well. It just needs to be maintained from a person that joins the Inkscape community.

This would allow further improvements like Portal support and making the app official on Flathub.

Why is the flatpak not verified on flathub? Hmm

[-] delirious_owl@discuss.online 7 points 4 days ago

Wait till you learn that your flatpak client doesn't verify anything it downloads

For checksums: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/issues/1498#issuecomment-649098123

Flatpak does verify the integrity of files as it is downloading/installing them. For ostree remotes this is done using GPG signatures (which are better than mere checksums). If you want to see the commit ID (which is like a checksum) for something on flathub use e.g. flatpak remote-info -c flathub org.gnome.Builder and for the local copy flatpak info -c org.gnome.Builder. For OCI remotes we at least check SHA256 sums and there might be more integrity verification mechanisms I'm unaware of.

But for signatures: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder/issues/435

Checksums are not for authenticity, and link me to the docs that indicates that ostree's optional encryption is enforced in flatpak

I didn't say they were. Hence the second link.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
