Are you using Flatpaks?
Are you trusting Flathub?
Do you bother about the sandboxing and security?

Linux security to me has always been, don’t download random packages you don’t trust.

  Even if you have trust. There can be security vulnerabilites in apps we are using. Flatpak seems to not really help in any way.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
