Removal from the Inkscape Website · Issue #87 · flathub/org.inkscape.Inkscape
github.com

The Flatpak is already packaged and works well. It just needs to be maintained from a person that joins the Inkscape community.

This would allow further improvements like Portal support and making the app official on Flathub.

But the lack of verification and validation is a huge risk to flatpaks. As someone formerly involved with securing OSes, this kind of thing was scary back then and doubly scary since it entered its "don't confirm; just get in, loser" phase.

😱 so I guess install via appimage?? Package manager? 🤷 🤯 brain malfunction. Im thinking don't download or install until you verify the download with a hash and hopefully signature if they exist 🤷 use fedora? Which has better security? 🤷🤯
