Agreed. Just looking at the Steam Deck and how well flatpak works as a distro independent way to install apps is great.

Flatpak supports mutliple remotes (repos), everything is open source and apps are partially sandboxed.

Locking down network permissions with Flatseal [1] is great for situations like with PolyMC, were a maintainer's gone rogue without having to worry about leaking data.

Although SteamOS is Arch which is an "unstable" rolling release.

Personally I like flatpak because you don't need root (or a writable /) to install software.
