    Every Flatpak vendor

    So who’s that? Flathub and Fedora, the latter of who automate the Flatpak builds from distro packages anyway.

    If you’re using a smaller distro which is not backed by a huge security team then this is probably an advantage of using Flatpak, not a negative.

        Yes. All Flatpak apps can be used on any distro.

        I’m using the Fedora Flatpak Firefox on Debian, because Fedora’s Flatpak runtime supports Kerberos authentication, the Flathub runtime doesn’t.
