I have no idea if all flatpack apps update their own vulnerabilities once they are discovered. The distribution usually does it. Then I hate the idea of having boundaries between apps and imperfect integration with the desktop environment. Furthermore I don't really need any app distributed as flatpack so far, so I don't care. When I see one I only miss giving it a try but I don't miss using it to do my daily job. I could even said that flatpack is a good thing for me because it encapsulates all the possible distractions and makes them unreachable.

Anyway, I'd rather use flatpack than snap. I left Ubuntu for Debian because of it. I hope it goes the way of the other Canonical's unsuccessful attempts at building their own proprietary system and moat.
