I need nothing but apt or dnf. Miss me with that other junk.
Weird way to spell pacman
As an Arch user for many years, my question is when is Arch going to ditch pacman and upgrade to APK 3?
I've never used it -- what do you like about it?

I use apt and flatpak. They both are good for what they do.
Why do you need flatpak
If you are going to be running an Atomic/immutable distro, you really want to use things like flatpack/snap/appImage to keep your user space separate from the OS.
Oh, you can sledgehammer an rpm/deb/what ever into the underlying OS. But if you do that, why did you choose an immutable distro in the first place? It's kind of the whole point.
Because it just works. After being with computers all day fixing the insane problems that other people create I just want to come home and press buttons and have things work
Not OP, but I like Flatpak (in addition to Apt) because it doesn't require escalation to add or remove packages, so my kids can self-serve adding or removing games.
Flatpak is a common way to install something newer than you can get in your repo. If you are using apt in Debian Stable, Flatpak is a miracle. This is even the reason Ubuntu installs Firefox as a snap (their version of Flatpak).
I use boring Debian, so apt and older packages, and flatpak for a few programs that I want up to date.
When using certain apps I prefer them being containerized on my system. It's case-by-case for me. I keep steam containerized, my web browser containerized, etc.
But..why
In the case of steam and web browser, the containerization means I can control their access permissions via flatseal. This adds another layer of security, since they're both web-accessing applications, and it's easier than setting up a VM to run those applications.
Be aware the sandbox of flatpak is not safe for web browsers, specially firefox based browsers:

Ah, wasn't aware. Will have to look into it more.
