- The fonts issue is odd, Flatpak should definitely pick up on user fonts. Does fc-list run from inside a Flatpak show the fonts?
- Flathub isn’t official as per Fedora, but it’s officially maintained by the Flatpak developers, and many of the packages (including GNOME ones) are maintained by the upstream developers, meaning they are updated quickly and usually tested by the devs themselves. It’s quite reliable overall, and the Flatpaks are maintained by quite a few people (including me!). The main issue it’s had is just that packages occasionally can go out of date, but you can usually just open an issue then. In addition, Flathub will most likely remain the primary source for proprietary apps afaik.
- Fedora intentionally doesn’t include chsh because it’s setuid root which is a bit of a security rabbit hole, use
sudo lchsh $USER. - Use xdg-open instead of gnome-open. The former is generally available and a modern alternative.
- For GOA access, look for the permission
talk-name=org.gnome.OnlineAccounts.
