I usually use the net installer, but it's possible that I used the

seemed to be a bit strange, not integrated well. For example, I
couldn't open pdf files normally. I couldn't pick the pdf viewer,
only an option to use the default system opener or save the file. I
discovered what had happened when I tried to update it and dnf said it
wasn't installed. It took a while, but eventually I figured out that
it was a flatpack. I would never intentionally install a flatpack,
particularly when there's a perfectly good rpm available.
So my question is, how did Thunderbird get installed as a flatpack?
Is that the default for the workstation install now?
When I opened Gnome Software, it gave me the initial welcome dialog,
so I didn't use that to install it. I did use that to remove the
flatpack and I could see that it would be very easy to accidentally
install the flatpack version instead of the rpm one.
Not sure if this is a valid data point. I installed F35 Workstation
from the Live Beta Image. There was no thunderbird installed.
If I click on Activities and type thunderbird it shows up in "Software"
and I suppose if I click on it it would get installed.
From where? I can't tell.
Now that you mention it, I do have a vague recollection that I might
have done that. I would certainly hope that it doesn't default to the
flatpack, but that might be possible.
