Linux Mint Will Hide Unverified Flatpaks in Software Manager

The Software Manager app in Linux Mint 22 will deliver faster start-up times and a introduce a significant security-minded safeguard for search results. As you may know (and if you don’t, what’s living on Mars like? ;P) the Linux Mint Software Manager (package name mintinstall) allows users to install DEB packages from the Ubuntu/Linux Mint repos as well as Flatpak apps on Flathub. But not all apps on Flathub are verified. So Software Manager will now only show verified Flatpaks. Unverified Flatpaks will not be returned for any search result. Now, a lack of verification isn’t a major red flag
