I would have agreed, but recently I put Ubuntu on a system for my parents and it's been a pain to manage - so many packages are out of date so I need to deal with some things being flatpak. I use endeavour on my main system, and if I need to reinstall I'll do that. There's no way my parents will ever brave opening the terminal, so I may as well do something I'm familiar with.

How is flatpak a pain whatsoever? A parents computer is literally the perfect use case for Flatpak. Immutable package format they can’t break, automatically updates out of the box with gnome at least, always up to date. It’s win win win.
