RDM and Flatpak

Hi Michael,

Thanks for reaching out and for bringing this to us!

We recently moved Remote Desktop Manager from Flathub to our own Flatpak repository because of limitations imposed by Flathub. Maintaining the application there had become difficult and often required workarounds to ensure that the Flatpak version behaved as closely as possible to the native RDM application. This change simplifies the development process and helps prevent issues that affect only the Flatpak version. We don't plan on putting it back on Flathub, unless there's a good reason for it.

Regarding the installation issues, you are correct that both documented methods currently have problems.

The first issue, involving the .flatpakref installation method, was caused by a deployment problem in our release process. A temporary fix has now been applied, so you can retry the following:
flatpak install https://cdn.devolutions.net/download/Linux/RDM/com.devolutions.remotedesktopmanager.current.flatpakref

The second issue is an incorrect URL in our documentation. The correct repository URL is:
https://cdn.devolutions.net/flatpak/devolutions.flatpakrepo

You can add it using:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists devolutions https://cdn.devolutions.net/flatpak/devolutions.flatpakrepo

We will correct the documentation shortly, and the deployment issue should also be permanently resolved later this week.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If you or other users think of a reason for us to go back on Flathub, we will reconsider this decision.

Best regards,
