[QGIS-Developer] Linux users: wanna flatpak?

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Wow,

thanx a lot!

Umh, just reading https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis
Seems I can just reinstall the flatpak with the needed module

|flatpak run --command=pip3 org.qgis.qgis install scipy --user Will give
it a try! Cheers, Bernd |
