Something about flatpak seems a little hinky to me -- Ubuntu is getting too heavily into data collection lately, and flatpak seems part of it, though I haven't researched it fully; too much to do and Ubuntu avoidance is easy.

I suspect it's actually snaps rather than flatpak you're thinking of. Snaps apparently live in a single central repository under Ubuntu's control, and have additional issues on top of the integration problems you always see with these "universal" packaging solutions.

(I don't run any form of Ubuntu myself, but I read a lot of complaints about it on Lemmy.)
