From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

@MalReynolds @nerdschleife But flatpak doesn't integrate well with the OS, that's why I keep using the package manager instead.
Fedora atomic (I'm using bazzite for gaming only) have Flatpaks enabled by default and are recommended, so it integrates well with the OS.
And seeing where the Linux community is going right now, Flatpak has been widely adopted by most distros which are not Debian based. There are ways to go regarding the packaging for the developers, but there are plenty of apps already on flathub. I'm using it on arch and bazzite and have no problems so far.
I can't comment on the apps the OP requires
Fine, you do you.
Every single way that flatpak doesn't integrate well into the OS is easily fixed with minimal effort.
