2:14 Force 1 : The Independence Plan

4:37 Force 3 : The AI Line in the Sand
5:37 The Nightmare
7:17 The Exodus
Flathub is leaving GitHub — and it’s one of the biggest migrations open source has ever attempted. The largest Linux app store on the planet, with 3,249 apps and hundreds of millions of downloads a year, announced at GUADEC 2026 in A Coruña, Spain that it’s moving off GitHub and onto its own self-hosted Forgejo instance. Not GitLab. Not Codeberg. Its own infrastructure.
So why would Flathub walk away from GitHub after all these years? In this video we break down exactly what happened, the three real reasons behind the split — Flathub’s independence plan, GitHub’s brutal year of outages, and the AI line in the sand — the sheer nightmare of migratig 3,249 app repositories, and why Flathub is just the latest name in a growing exodus of Linux and open source projects leaving GitHub.
If you use Flatpak on Fedora, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Arch, openSUSE or any other Linux distribution, here’s the good news up front: nothing changes for you. But what this means for the future of Linux app distribution? That’s a much bigger story.
What we cover in this video:
– What Flathub actually announced at GUADEC 2026 and what people are getting wrong about it
– What Forgejo is, and why a self-hosted Git forge matters for open source independence
– Force 1: Flathub’s multi-year push to become a fully independent entity with GNOME and KDE
– Force 2: GitHub’s year from hell — 257 tracked incidents, 48 major outages, 112+ hours of downtime, and the merge queue that silently corrupted thousands of pull requests
– The gap between GitHub’s claimed 99.8% uptime and the ~86% independent trackers measured
– Force 3: Copilot training on interaction data by default, ads injected into pull requests, and why AI became a philosophical breaking point
– Why GitHub Actions timed out building Chromium at 6 hours while Flathub’s own build system did it in 75 minutes
– The honest counterpoints: self-hosting means owning your own outages, losing GitHub’s network, and years of running two platforms
– The exodus: Zig moving to Codeberg, Gentoo stepping back, Mitchell Hashimoto moving Ghostty, and the Dutch government self-hosting on Forgejo
– Whether this is a trickle or the start of a flood, and what it means for you as a Linux user

We caught up with Jonathan Williams, Head of France at Legora, at RAISE Summit in Paris to discuss how AI is transforming the legal industry. As law firms and in-house legal teams embrace AI, the challenge is no longer just adopting new technology—it’s helping entire organisations adapt to a new way of working. Jonathan shares how Legora uses OpenAI models across its platform, why the pace of AI innovation continues to accelerate, and his advice for enterprise leaders navigating rapid technological change.
Your team already uses the Hugging Face Hub. Here’s what a paid organization plan unlocks — for Enterprise and Academia alike.
🤝 Better collaboration — a private org workspace: one shared namespace for models, datasets, and Spaces, with versioning and lineage built in. Resource Groups, Dataset Viewer for private data, Dev Mode (SSH/VS Code), HF Jobs, and publisher analytics.
🔒 Better security — SSO (SAML/OIDC), enforced 2FA, centralized token management, and SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure. Enterprise+ adds IP allowlisting and storage regions.
📋 Better governance — audit logs, service accounts, SCIM provisioning, usage analytics, and gated access flows to adopt open-weight models at scale, on your terms.
⚡ Built to scale — higher Hub API rate limits, ZeroGPU priority quota for Spaces, and monthly Inference Provider credits.
💰 Simple billing, real support — prepaid Hub credits for inference, endpoints, Jobs, Space upgrades, and extra ZeroGPU quota. One balance, one invoice, storage and compute billed separately. Onboarding by our Solution Engineers and a dedicated Slack channel.
