Good catch, MR merged, thanks,
For fun, I tried running through the README.md file. I hit a slight snag in that the
"flatpak install" prerequisite step failed with:
error: No remote refs found similar to ‘flathub’
It is simple to correct; just run this command prior to the "flatpak install"
step:
flatpak remote-add
Hi Ruth,
You can build the nightly flatpak (with wx 3.1) by grabbing this repository
and following the instructions in the readme:
https://gitlab.com/kicad/packaging/kicad-flatpak/kicad-nightly-flatpaks/kicad-nightly-flatpak
Johannes can probably answer any detailed questions better than I, but

No, we won’t be waiting on wxWidgets to release. (I suspect their date is
optimistic.)
Cheers,
Jeff.

Except that the flatpak I installed yesterday is of version 5.1.10 and
that one at least is linked to wx 3.0.

It’s all the Linux distros that we can’t do much about.

wxwidget 3.1 is the development version for the upcoming stable version
3.2 which possible breaks the API/ABI with every new version that is
getting released. That makes this software breaking other software too
often and by this unfit to get introduced into Debian unstable, it
simply make to

there was never and probably will never be any official Ubuntu KiCad

In the short term, we will probably continue to package 5.1 with wx 3.0.
This is primarily to ensure that our python scripts aren't broken by

You can leave out the remote from flatpak search
Johannes,
Thanks for asking... I think the initial problem with flatpak was
that I couldn't figure out how to install kicad. Things like
"flatpak search flathub KiCad" don't return useful results.
However, I then found the problem with flatpak was that I

I maintain the KiCad flatpak manifests.
Did you try to install the flatpak from flathub.org, i.e.
flatpak
I compiled latest HEAD (master) from the gitlab repo, using dev packages
as required (e.g. glew) from Kubuntu except for the wx 3.1 build, which
came from https://repos.codelite.org/wx3.1.5/ubuntu/ (codelite maintain
a set of builds of it for different distros).

Which version of KiCad are you talking about, 5.1 or master? Where are
you getting your Kubuntu KiCad package, Kubuntu or the KiCad PPA? The
decision to build against wxWidgets 3.1 is up to the disto package
developer if you are using the disto's package.

Folks,
I'm using Kicad on Kubuntu 21.04 with a 4K screen, and experience the
'tiny fonts' problem on it. I got fed up with that a few days ago and
noticed the recommendations that wxWin 3.1 fixes many issues. I first
tried to install the 'flatpak' build, but couldn't do so, so then I
