Actually, the better question is: When will they replace most desktop Linux programs?

Kinoite user here, the majority of my desktop apps are in flatpaks already. I have a couple of things in toolbox/distrobox containers

I've also been on immutable Fedora for a while, and the biggest complaint I have is that I need to reboot after removing software from the base system. Otherwise I quite like Flatpak for the ability to set granular permissions per app. KDE even has Flatseal built into the settings app now, which is super nice.
