I agree, and I do see that in some places it was done, but flatpak does not have every app either :)
i'm not sure i am fully on on this. would probably be better to get some more input here. @ChrisTitusTech @afonsofrancof ?
I like flatpaks, but I don't want to confuse people. It would need to be clear what the user is installing. It's also a LOT of work to do this for every existing app.
I am sure it's possible, but I think it's best to see what @ChrisTitusTech says.

Makes sense, I wouldn't recommend changing existing scripts too much work, but future scripts maybe?
Maybe offer the option to install via flatpak rather than just doing so?
I agree waiting for @ChrisTitusTech
@adamperkowski, I'll bring my pull requests into draft while we wait for Chris' feedback
