From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's not on Flathub, because of Ai generated code and other assists maybe? https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements#generative-ai-policy
It s a recommendation and not a law. Flatpak said they will look at it on a case by case basis. I think it s more related to analytic and nvidia doing nvidia and doing all they can to not play nicely in the foss ecosystem
I don't have real knowledge, but I could imagine both. E.g. nvidia may not want to raise an official ticket and then get a public decline. That could be a story that you can refer to. They may, at least for now, want to go the proprietary way, as if it's a Windows installer (lol).
