Flatpak is stable and widely used, but it still has some pain points when used in certain environments or for certain ends. However, most of those drawbacks are being worked on, and fixes are planned.

    Flatpak doesn’t have a UI? It is a packaging format.

      Flatpak: a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.

      Flatpak application: an application installed via the flatpak command or through a graphical interface, such as GNOME Software or KDE Discover.

      Runtime: also called platform, an integrated environment providing basic utilities needed for a Flatpak application to work.

      Flatpak bundle: a single-file export format containing a Flatpak application or runtime.

      From https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html#terminology

      You might be thinking of AppImages, which are more of a pure file format.

          I’m talking about the executable binary flatpak, which is the interface used to execute and manage applications distributed in the Flatpak bundle format.
