    Genuine question: Am I missing something? I use Ubuntu and never use the Snap store. I only use the apt repository to install applications I find online. What is the advantage of Flathub over my current setup?

      Depends on your needs. If there are packages for everything you need, thats fine. Also, its fine if you don’t mind going to the sites and downloading directly. I have a few packages which are easier to use on flathub though.

      I also find Gnome Software centre and discover are a lot cleaner than Ubuntu’s software used for package management.

      Ubuntu these days has 15 years of software support though.

      Both are fine in practice.
