Flathub needs to make money somehow, especially now that the GNOME Foundation has financial issues, they will probably get a portion of app purchases, following the Google and Apple model, which some people might not like, but I think it's fair, especially because they only take 10% from FOSS apps. Unfortunately I can't afford to pay for apps but I can understand that FOSS devs also need to make some money to be able to work on their projects, and it also makes easier for users to donate to projects because they can donate to all projects from one place.)<br>(The only question is: will the payment system be implemented in software centers like GNOME Software, KDE Discover, Mintinstall etc., the CLI interface of Flatpak, and the new Flatpak management tool Warehouse. The actual Flathub website is used only by a small portion of Flathub users.)</p><p>Linux Mint 22.1 "Xia" is planned for Christmas holidays, beta version is now available with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base, Cinnamon 6.4, faster Software Manager, updated Bulky file rename utility, thumbnail support for .ora (OpenRaster) files, modernized APT dependencies for better package management, enhanced power management:<br><a href="https://9to5linux.com/linux-mint-22-1-xia-beta-is-now-available-for-download-with-cinnamon-6-4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">9to5linux.com/linux-mint-22-1-</span><span class="invisible">xia-beta-is-now-available-for-download-with-cinnamon-6-4</span></a></p><p>Linux Mint is now the most popular distro according to DistroWatch, dethroning MX Linux:<br><a href="https://betanews.com/2024/12/10/linux-mint-mx-distrowatch/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">betanews.com/2024/12/10/linux-</span><span class="invisible">mint-mx-distrowatch/</span></a><br>(DistroWatch rankings shouldn't be taken as exact statistical data, MX Linux isn't nearly as popular it appears to be.
