>and I found out that Flatpak hate is unfounded
the flatpak hate is very justified but it's stuff nobody really gives a shit about

> it uses shitton of disk space
it uses less the more shit you install with it and can be further improved.
and probably nobody suffers from lack of storage space on desktop today, I have root on 128gb ssd I got for $12, 55 flatpaks installed and there's still 40gb free to hide my porn in /lib64/. it sucks comparatively but people spend resources on way worse shit every day
> the packages are poorly maintained and audited
people will say this and point to AUR in the same breath. keeping your pc supplied with trusted software with cohesive supply chain takes effort and commitment, but most people run binaries from github so it clearly doesn't matter to them
> the sandbox doesn't work
this meme comes from the gay story news sites have been running, "flatpak is sandboxed like android :)". it's very much not like android and the defaults in most packages leave many holes to preserve expected functionalities - in this regard it's true that the sandbox is inadequate. but flatpak also lets you tweak it to restrict programs as much as you're comfortable with, and in this way the sandbox works perfectly well.
