I've been thinking... 🤔
#Steam has been really successful on #Linux despite being focused on paid, closed-source software. Is there any way something like #Flatpak could start offering paid software alongside #FOSS options without the community throwing a thermonuclear tantrum?
It could go a long way towards making Linux more viable as a mainstream desktop platform.
