Is Flatpaks the future for Linux? (self.technology)

So a few popular Linux distros decided to drop a few major packages like how red hat dropped rpm packages for libreoffice in favor for the flatpak packages.

If more distros decided to drop more packages from their main repository in favor for flatpak packages, then are there any obvious concerns? From my personal experience, flatpaks didn't work well for me. If flatpaks become mainstream and takeover the linux distros, then I might just move to Freebsd. I just want to know if there is any positives to moving away from official repositories to universal repositories.

So it's made of mostly fake accounts from Instagram. That has to be the shadiest thing I've seen from a social media app. Just making "shadow" accounts from other social media apps to artificially boost it's analytics.

Linux Desktop Market share reaches 3.08% by Ziggyred in c/technology@lemmy.ml

I expected the Linux desktop market share to be a bit higher since Windows 11 can't run on low spec hardware (and it's trash).
