> [@jadupl2](#): > > 350,000 users are using it There's been 350,000 unique downloads over 4 years, including updates from one version to the next. Global downloads isn't an installed user base. There won't be an exact figure due to the way the backend and upgrades work, but it'd be closer to 15,000 installed users. Which isn't to say this doesn't need sorting, it's still 15,000 installed users. But the Flatpak being at 350k would make it more popular than the Windows version 😉 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/cozic/original/3X/d/0/d04b5e7d54fb86cf42bfa4ae1e4358dd8bc3b9af.png) You can see an estimate of installed users by correlating updates to downloads like this ---

It's worth noting that the flatpak is an unofficial alterntive distribution rather than coming from the main Joplin project: [link removed because I don't have the discourse points yet] However... it's also the case that flathub is proactive in monitoring for new releases and there are currently a bunch of automatic pull requests to deliver the update (as I post there there are five automatic PRs tracking the point releases): [link removed because I don't have the discourse points yet] At present Joplin 3.10 is available from the beta channel. I used the following commands to get it: ```sh flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo flatpak --user install flathub-beta net.cozic.joplin_desktop flatpak --user make-current net.cozic.joplin_desktop beta ``` ---

The v3 flatpaks have now been promoted to the production stream. So, just for completeness, to switch back to the production stream simply uninstall the beta version: ```sh flatpak --user uninstall flathub-beta net.cozic.joplin_desktop # Optional, and only if you are not using the beta stream for anything else... flatpak --user remote-delete flathub-beta ``` ---
