There’s downsides too. Such as the bottles debacle with how RPM maintainers package software that sometimes left his apps outdated or broken.
I’m in the boat that Fedora packages might be better than a random user who abandons their repack later, but flatpaks from the original Devs is ideal :)
Weren’t there talks about removing the Fedora flatpaks entirely in favor of a regular Flathub access?
There’s always talk about that (see alternative 2), but that could block packaging core apps as Flatpaks.
Centralising around Flathub seems to me like it defeats the point of flatpak being able to have multiple repositories.
I think that besides unverified packages, lack of repositories (for example, for FOSS only) is the main problem of Flatpak rn
I wonder if selectively mirroring flathub is an option. The point of the fedora flatpak repo is to only have open source applications isn’t it?
There’s a priority mechanism in Fedora/flatpak but when I tried to give priority to flathub it was ignored.
Maybe it works now.

You will, when need arise :)

They get better everyday. You will use them at some point if you cannot find your software via your favorite package manager.
What kind of problems did you experience? I’m on an admittedly flatpak first distro and I can’t remember ever having issues.
