From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thats how packaging works.
On Android I use Obtainium, as the package manager deals with signature verification. On Linux, Flatpak is the only equivalent to Android apps.
RustDesk is the only Flatpak not from Flathub I use, because they have messed up permissions.
There's also Pied, which hasn't gotten around to submitting to Flathub.
Wow, cool app!
That was my first thought upon finding it. It's really hard to find though, even if you know the name of it.
Keep in mind the Rustdesk flatpak has full access to your machine and isn't sandboxed
Yes true, thats why it is not published on Flathub.
I will add an override to it that makes sense.
Yeah I don't trust it. Chinese made potential spyware
Lol
