Flatpack is a solution to a problem most people don’t have, dont use it unless you really know why you are using it. If you don’t understand why you should not use it don’t.
Also, delta files are a neat thing but if their backend can’t do it efficiently it is just stupid IMO. To me it sounds like premature optimisation, a common issue in software development.

a solution to a problem most people don’t have I’d say the timeless problem of “I just want to run this app, why doesn’t it work” is solved with Flatpak. People who can compile software themselves are the exception, not the norm. For an average user, an app store that “just works” is great. And for a developer, only being required to target one common runtime simplifies things.
