My thoughts on Flatpak (that nobody asked for)
Hindsight preface: This was written in very tired state.
I have been chatting about this with people who know more than I ever will about Flatpak.
Soo I have added few edits here and there.
If I seem frustrated, most of my frustration is aimed at the unnecessary shit slinging over packaging formats.
We all want the good stuff, why the hell are we fighting?!

Jiri Eischmann: Help Us Test Evolution
It was not an easy task to make Evolution run nicely as a flatpak, but Milan Crha managed to do it and we’ve been fine-tuning it for the last 3 years. There are still some use cases that don’t fully work in a flatpak, but they don’t affect most users. Evolution has established itself well on Flathub, too. It has accumulated over 130k installs. There are roughly 12-15k “active” installations.
Some time ago I also started building Evolution for the beta channel on Flathub. When there are already development releases of the upcoming version (it will be 3.49.x this cycle), I build those for the beta channel. If they’re not available yet, I push stable releases there right after the upstream release is done, roughly one week before they go to the stable channel.
