Basically title.
I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

All that was said here, plus sometimes they don’t work. I’ve reported a bug where the kdenlive flatpak version doesn’t render titles or fades - and that’s on Debian Testing, Arch, and Asahi Fedora. Native version works perfectly, but forces me to download an untidy amount of KDE stuff on my gnome installs ; flatpak would’ve been a cool solution to that.
I am yet to report another where Ardour nukes pipewire, at least on Asahi, but on Arch it was misbehaving also. Native, distro-provided version works perfectly.
I don’t trust flatpak because no one single publisher can test every possible config, and I’m afraid distros become “lazy” and stop packaging native versions of stuff since it’s a lot of work.
