I understand. I use some FlatPaks specifically because they are newer. 
Usually, though, I'll only use a FlatPak when the application is not 
available in the repository.

I just did the same thing, to be honest. There's nothing truly wrong 
with Flatpak, but I like the increased performance of the repository 
software so I removed whatever I could and put in the equivalent RPMs. I 
was prompted to do so when I found out that getting Windows games to 
work in Steam on Linux is easier using the native version. Red Dead 
Redemption 2 already runs perfectly so I will have to get around to 
completing it once I get bored of playing NHL 25 on the console.

All I have for flatpaks are Arduino IDE v2, Brave, Vim and a bunch of 
FreeDesktop stuff that I'm not even sure what it does. I have more apps 
that are snaps, including Brave. Ubuntu seems more snap happy.

I never looked into it. If it runs Linux, that's great. How that helps 
to improve the user experience is up to you to explain.

How a viable option of a robust and well-supported non-commercial OS
doesn't improve the user experience for millions for whom "the big
two" are inadequate is up to you to explain.

In other words, no answer.

There is no answer. An "improved user experience" is completely subjective (as 
mentioned in an earlier post).

He thinks Windows is "prettier." I don't.

It's more consistent, but I think that KDE is prettier. The mere fact 
that KDE allows you to customize the interface however you want 
including with effects makes it superior to Windows. When I inevitably 
decide to torture myself with Linux again, especially if it has a 
solution to fTPM stuttering which is unavailable to Windows without a 
BIOS update, I'll probably install that again.

"Improved the user experience" is subjective. For me, the best "user 
experience, when writing (for example), is working in non-GUI environment. 
I'm sure that's not the case with most here. I'm guessing the "best" "user 
experience" with the NYSE is whatever platform gets the users the 
information they want in the shortest possible amount of time.

I do admit that there are a lot of things I prefer doing in the command 
line like batch converting images to a smaller size or converting Office 
Open XML document to the truly open OpenDocument format. I'll admit that 
Linux gives you a lot more flexibility to do so and that its 
command-line tools are top-notch. Heck, doing any of what I mentioned in 
Windows usually requires you to download some tool which tries to sucker 
you into paying a monthly fee.

Sounds like some lame deflection attempt into what *nix flavor is on the 
  mainframe servers...

But for the traders, the Industry Standard is the Bloomberg Terminal.

The Bloomberg Terminal runs on Windows OS.

One of the best ways to really crank on a kernel is to run a game.

And:  All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Some people stare at the boob toob.  Some people game, which uses
the brain cells a bit more.

I play Elite Dangerous on Linux, which has just finished up a
banner year. I know that's the exception rather than the rule,
but a lot of players came back because of the new "Power Play 2.0"
that was added to the game recently. And the final Thargoid
mothership -- which took up station over Earth and was menacing
the Sol system -- is now no more.

Fly dangerous!

Agreed. Now, a computer is not mandatory to play. There are other
possibilities.

I have to agree here. I just got a new monitor yesterday and both my 
computer and Xbox Series S are plugged into it. I'm sure that the same 
game running from the computer would look better than it does coming 
from the console, but the games still look fantastic and I doubt that 
some additional polygons would multiply the amount of fun one can have. 
Besides, there are console exclusives like NHL that make it preferable.
