Is there a downside to Flatpak? - eviltoast

Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

    Generally using only a few flatpaks is where it’s generally “bloaty”. Adding more actually balances out the equation ans you have more apps using generally shared runtimes.
