This is what I do for the desktop apps for my home desktop:

If a package is in the Fedora repository, I favor getting it from there. If it is not, my first choice is a flatpak from Flathub. I find it much less painful than downloading RPM packages (which aren't always provided and also don't automatically update) or adding a bunch of third party repositories like PPAs (which have a tendency to cause dependency hell if there are too many of them).

The main exception is the RPMFusion third-party repository. If something is in RPMFusion I get it from there instead of trying the flatpak. (Examples include Steam and FFmpeg)
