Flathub is the place to get and distribute apps for Linux. It is powered by Flatpak which allows Flathub apps to run on almost any Linux distribution.

How does it stack up against traditional package management and others like AUR and Nix?

      Flatpak is a project trying to fix many things at once

      • make apps that work on every distro
      • thus have apps officially supported by the devs, unlike distro packages mostly
      • sandbox apps with an android-like permission system with a rating system
      • use modern standards like delta-downloads, deduplication and BTRFS compression to save storage space
      • make everything nice and user friendly
