This update has been submitted for testing by tpopela.
This update's test gating status has been changed to 'waiting'.
Silverblue users can test this by issuing:
rpm-ostree override replace https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-314294d0d0This update's test gating status has been changed to 'passed'.
This seems to prefer Flathub apps over Fedora apps: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2135289#c4
Works for me, "Fedora Linux" flatpak package are prioritized over "Flathub" ones, and I cannot see RPM packaged applications at all unless they're already installed on the system. Which is basically the same behaviour as Gnome 42 and earlier.
I'm a bit unsure about the fact that it chooses it's prioritization of Fedora over Flathub using the alphabet, as it may lead to issues with non-Latin alphabet (the alphabetic order may change, no?). But I'm not 100% if that is an issue, as I know very little about any other alphabet.
You're on Silverblue, right? In that case that's expected. If you're on Workstation, please report a bug and link it here. (For example BZFlag or Frozen Bubble are games which are available on Flathub and as a Fedora RPM, but not Fedora Flatpak).
The bug reported above affects RPM-based environments only.
Yes, my apologies I should have mentioned that I'm on Silverblue.
I didn't write my comment about RPM's not showing up as an issue, but rather wanted to confirm that it works as expected. This merge covers several related issues, including some that affect Silverblue specifically. Specifically how Silverblue shows RPM packages by default in the upstream Gnome Software in Gnome 43. See original details above: "Hide RPM packaged applications and prefer Flatpaks over RPM package applications on Silverblue 37."

This update has been pushed to testing.
Bodhi is disabling automatic push to stable due to negative karma. The maintainer may push manually if they determine that the issue is not severe.
Since it seems FESCo will approve the change the prefer (any) Flatpaks over RPMs, I tested gnome-software again. It seems to be working mostly fine, but the Flatpak priority change doesn't work correctly for Featured apps. Reported here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/1946
This update can be pushed to stable now if the maintainer wishes
ok, it looks like this does actually behave as intended, and the way it did in F35.
This update has been obsoleted by gnome-software-43.1-1.fc37.
