Just a suggestion. Most of the workstation blocker issues with apps could have been detected by using the gnome nightly flatpaks (build in gnome's gitlab CI). https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Nightly I use Silverblue rawhide and most of my apps are Nightly builds that I frequently update. This way I jump into fixing/reporting bugs as soon as I encounter them. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
