What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub?
Flathub aims to be the place to get and distribute apps for Linux. It is powered by Flatpak which allows Flathub apps to run on almost any Linux distribution.
How does it stack up against traditional package management and others like AUR and Nix?

@tet @linux Fundamentally, I'm just not interested in containerizing applications on my host computer. If I needed to do that, I'd use docker, so Flatpaks and such feel redundant.
I also don't like that distros like Ubuntu increasingly force snaps via apt, because it results in an unknown factor in case I ever need to troubleshoot.
AUR works for me best in cases when something isn't in the package manager. it's easier to make a custom aur package as opposed to a .deb
