Fedora threatened with legal action from OBS Studio due to their Flatpak packaging

I've personally not had any use for Flatpak thus far, but I get the potential appeal. However, if everything that is in the Fedora Flatpak repo is also available as an RPM, it seems much easier to just go that route...

Not quite the classic you remember.
I liked it better when it was called Arkanoid.

the script has been flipped—literally! Players now progress sideways
Going back to Pong...

originally slated as an Amico Intellivision exclusive, Atari agreed to acquire and complete the development
Weren't both of those new consoles Linux-based? And yet...
