Flathub catalog, an independent platform for distributing packages in Flatpak format, has announced that it has reached one million active users, according to a recent announcement. The catalog currently offers more than 2,400 applications, with over 850 of them being verified by their original authors. The total number of package downloads on Flathub is estimated to be 1.6 billion.
Instead of relying on user system metrics, the calculation of active users was determined by analyzing statistics from the FlatHub infrastructure. The number of active installations was predicted by taking into account the number of Runtime downloads with Freedesktop components, as well as the updates to the latest version of these components.
