Nah, I don't want to risk accidentally getting a codec-less version, they never worked for their intended purpose in my experience, they're basically bricked.

Mind you, the vast majority (if not the entirety) of what I interact with uses non-free codecs.

I honestly kinda wish someone made Fedora, exactly as it is, with the exception that it has non-free codecs pre-installed and available without having to faff.

I did start trying to prefer the Fedora flatpaks but the flatpak priority system doesn't seem to work. I have flathub 50 and Fedora 100 but it still chose flathub for the same version.

Flathub's packages are usually more up-to-date. Sometimes ridiculously different.

Then LibreOffice said that they're releasing on flathub/fedora not packaging so eventually I saw which way things are going and went with the flow.

nope

Biggest pro: they use a single runtime!

The flatpak runtime system is a total mess... 3 variants, 3 supported versions, this is crazy!

I will setup an 8GB Chromebook soon, and Flatpaks will be challenging.
