Flatpaks can be verified. Compare that to apt packaged, which must be cryptographically signed.
That’s why flatpak isnt secure. If you use it, you might end up running malicious code. Because, unlike most Linux repo package managers, it doesn’t require packages to be cryptographically verified as authentic.
I get that it’s less secure, but using verified flatpaks beats homebrew by a large margin.
Using apt, yum, dnf, pacman etc beats flatpak by magnitudes
True, but saying Brew is unsafe but Flatpak isn’t, isn’t too odd, either.
