It’s interesting and kinda cool that you can’t tell what distro it’s running on when using Flatpak. I would have thought that there’s some way to find out (it would be important for fixing bugs, I guess?)
I think this is where the sandbox~y nature of Flatpak comes in. It doesn’t really care for the distro-environment, because it creates its own distro-agnostic one; ensuring that software continues to work regardless of the shit-show going on elsewhere.
It is for this and other reasons that some developers vouch for Flatpak.
