Background-Story: I did a “flatpak update” on a remote client and every package wants the PW for downloading and for installing again. I had to enter the password like 30 times or more.

    I’m convinced most of flatpack’s popularity is just it not being snap. When one is meh but you actively dislike the other, “meh” starts to look pretty good. Or maybe I’m just projecting my own feelings.

      They both solve a very similar set of problems and they each have their advantages, but canonical really managed to burn a lot of community goodwill with snap, so I’m just not willing to touch it personally (I also dislike having a hundred loop devices in my mounts).
