I don't really see the problem. I want the rock solid underpinnings of RHEL, and am ok with older kernels etc.., but I generally want updated apps like LibreOffice, Firefox etc.. To me it makes sense for those things to be Flatpak, and for you to just get them directly from the source. A Flatpak of LO maintained by LO, a flatpak of Firefox maintained by Firefox etc.. What's the problem with that?

There is no problem with that. But it is just a simplified way of saying "Look! You can build your own software directly from the maintainers, but faster and much easier!" Basically, a glorified Gentoo way. We're back to square one.

  It's not really building anything. You would just download a few apps from flathub.org

    I know, I was just being hyperbolic.
