Interesting, I do wish that flathub was more like F-droid. F-droid lists anti features and allows you to easily hide software that has anti features you don't like.

Flathub does provide this warning like system.

I don't think we can filter using these though

Features that harm the user. Examples include telemetry and non-free libraries.

Features that are not so great: “This app redirects to data gathering services” stuff like that

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.
