Wait, what distros use flatpak by default?
I don't even know where to begin… Fedora, Pop!_OS, KDE Neon, elementary OS, Tuxedo OS, Slimbook OS, any Ubuntu flavour that doesn't default to Snap, Zorin, Nobara, Mint… and any distro that comes with KDE that doesn't activate Flathub by default (e.g. OpenSuse) got the "Add Flathub" button built-in right in Discovery.
If you want your app to be accessible to as many distros as possible while retaining control over its distribution, Flatpak (and unfortunately Snap) really is the primary way to do so. Once KDE e.V. and the Gnome Foundation finish their efforts to support payments and ownership handling it's also the golden way for any developer who wishes to make a living with their craft.
Oh lol, that is a lot. I've only used ubuntu, Debian, Fedora (i3 spin, which I believe had only dnf as a package manager), endeavouros, arch and researched nixos (which I'm definitely trying next) so I've never actually had flatpak preinstalled to my knowledge.
