Controlling Software on the Corporate Linux Desktop

Ever worked somewhere that did software audits? Remember the scrambling to uninstall unapproved tools right before the review—only to reinstall them the next week?

Yeah, I lived that too. Here's the better way.
What I built:

→ Internal Flatpak repository on Rocky Linux 9.7
→ GPG-signed applications for trust and integrity
→ Apache HTTPS distribution with network-level controls
→ Automated client configuration

What it solves:

✓ Audit compliance without the panic
✓ Controlled software distribution without blocking productivity
✓ Clear provenance for every application
