using apt (nala) and deb, forever. Ban flatpak/snap.

Flatpak is actually a really good solution. Snap is garbage though.

I do a combination of Flatpak for niche 3rd party applications and apt on Debian for standard stuff that everyone wants/needs.

No, FlatPak is centralization in the worst possible way, whilst also making software less usable.

It's a terrible thing and it dies to die swiftly.

Can you clarify? I'm just getting back into Linux this year, what makes it more centralized than any other repo based packaging solution? How is using Ubuntu's deb repos on a thousand distros less centralized than flathub?
