    Better resources usage when running all the apps as Flatpaks. Once you hit the close button, the zygote is killed, and you’re sure that web browser doesn’t run anything stupid in the background anymore.

        No, I think they meant that you get better resource usage when you install an app as a Flatpak instead of a system package. You get the same benefit in a traditional distro too, if you use Flatpaks, it’s just that immutable distros kind of force you to use them.
