On the fly atomic updates (the recommended update path for DNF installed apps requires a system reboot.) Though you can do it live, doing offline upgrades is safer so you don’t replace some runtime something is using midflight.

Also, flatpaks have some system isolation and have to use flatpak portals and explicit permissions/mounts giving them less ability to negatively affect my system.

Also, Flathub just has everything that I need to run anyway, at least for GUI apps.

Every graphical app I have installed that isn’t a basic system application included with the distro install is either in a podman container or flatpak.

You can try Organic Maps if you have a pressing need for privacy in your maps app.

It seems… okay… when I used it. No support for android or apple auto integration though.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. Block Threads if they do a shitty job moderating their users and they post stuff not permitted by our instance like homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc. Preemptively blocking them to “protect privacy” won’t do that and gives the false impression that what you’re posting to the fediverse can’t be just hoovered up by google/meta anyway.

Twitter isn’t their customer friends.
