Damn, that was a challenge typing that on a phone.

Haha! You did well
I'd seen the article on the inclusion of select 3rd party repos with Workstation, this piqued my interest on revisiting Fedora. ScreenConnect was my drama though, hence Cinnamon. I've been doing digging on what these Repo changes actually are and how to enact on Cinnamon (given no Gnome and if that mattered) .
I've just been looking at a posting on the Fedora Forums talking about it . Seems that there's differences from what you get enabling through Workstation (and Gnome Software) and using
sudo dnf install fedora-workstation-repositorieson other Spins. -

Don't know what you are talking about. I've been Korora/Fedora for over almost 2 years now and have always used ScreenConnect.

It worked because you were using xorg and not Wayland. Fedora workstation, the gnome version is using Wayland by default.

Interesting concept when snaps and flatpacks take over, would it matter to have Fedora or Ubuntu ?

Snaps and Flatpack are already here and are nothing but "yet another packaging format." Fedora vs Ubuntu differences still remain. They aren't separated primarily by their package managers.

The one different with snap on Fedora compare to ubuntu is that SELinux can cause issues with snap apps.

If you don't want that, though, just turn it off. Then you are in the same boat as Ubuntu without it anyway.

@Emad-R I think there's subtle differences, especially relating to seamless integration with particular distros. This might be down to the differences / approaches @scottalanmiller mentioned between the distros (and if the developers have a particular distro persuasion one way or the other - despite aiming to be agnostic)
I stumbled across Alexander Larrson's blog, interesting reading, even a Flatpak on WSL post!
I just hope that maybe, given these are fresh initiatives in a time of ever-increasing current security and privacy concerns, we're going to benefit from a better way of doing things?

Yeah, SELinux is disabled on my Fedora workstation. Too many annoying crashes because of it. I’m all good with keeping in enabled on my server installs.
