If you’re using a smaller distro which is not backed by a huge security team then this is probably an advantage of using Flatpak, not a negative.

minus-square@suprjami@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglish2•7 months agoYes. All Flatpak apps can be used on any distro. I’m using the Fedora Flatpak Firefox on Debian, because Fedora’s Flatpak runtime supports Kerberos authentication, the Flathub runtime doesn’t.
