Your comment got me thinking… Is this a big deal, or even a small deal?
I think it’s a deal of some proportion. If someone is trying out Linux for the first time and stumbles across how Flatpaks work and starts exploring Flathub, maybe their initial impression will be good enough to consider switching. If something appears to be polished, then maybe it is.
Perception is reality; while hardcore nerds are willing to roll their own distributions, there’s a reason Ubuntu is damn popular. Most normal people want their computers to work, and to have an easy discoverable ecosystem.
Babe wake up, new flathub frontend just dropped

Actually- yeah.

So yeah. A Big deal
I hope it will change software discoverability on linux for the better.
