If there's one thing you can always count on in the Linux world it's that packaging can be a nightmare. The OBS Studio team are not happy with the Fedora folks due to Flatpak problems and threatened legal action.
Worse than that, the issue the article states isn’t that it’s a flat pack, it’s that fedora is pushing their rebuilt flat pack of obs that’s buggy instead of the official obs one from flat hub that works, and then the obs project is getting bug reports for a third party distribution that’s broken.
Because fedora isn’t just pushing flat packs, they’re pushing made by fedora versions of them instead of the official builds from the maintainers.
If I were the OBS devs, I’d make a clear indication on their website when reporting bugs that the fedora version of OBS is unsupported for, well, the reasons they don’t support it.
It seems way more effective than threatening legal repercussions.

Great explanation.
