What has been your experience with Flatpak?
(lemmy.world)
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.

I absolutely love it. Easy to find newer versions of things than what's in my distro's repos, easy to update. The only snags I've encountered is sometimes (very rarely) a program won't have access to part of my storage or my system's dark theme isn't applied. The former is super rare and the latter is usually 5min of searching the web to remember how to change the theme for a flatpak.
EDIT: after reading some of the other comments, I should mention that I only use it for GUI applications. I've not yet tried any TUI/CLI applications as flatpaks.
