    Let's spice it up for the weekend. I give thee an article discussing Linux software management problems, inspired by the recent Fedora OBS Studio Flatpak incident, highlighting numerous problems with usability and security, covering topics like distribution-owned repositories and community sources, official and unoofficial packages, chain of trust, control, centric versus distributed models, monetary incentives, numerous self-defeating paradoxes, and more. Enjoy.
