@lunduke I recently wiped my laptop and reinstalled my distro of choice. I explicitly removed all desktop apps and added my distro's flatpak backends instead... then installed my apps from flathub (via the GNOME software center). I've found a great balance - apps from the devs in a distro-agnostic way, and a smaller OS.

Should this be a thing? How long until a major distro provider stops shipping apps, and just relies on a layer like flatpak to differentiate where the OS ends?
