It is the best one for people that don’t know a lot about linux. Many people are at a loss when they read basic errors like fatal error:<header>.h:Nosuchfileordirectory or ld: cannot find -l<library>. Flatpak solves a lot of that by specifically including all of it in the installation.
So ye, for non-power users, flatpak is the best package manager. It also has only one downside, which is the increased storage requirement for apps as they have to bring all of their dependencies themselves, which is okay these days as storage isn’t that expensive anymore.
And everything is better than fucking snap if we’re honest for a second.
