    I'm fine with using traditional package managers, is there any benefit to using Flatpak?

    Have you ever tried to install a package and the install failed because of a missing dependency? You spend time chasing down that specific dependency, you find it and try to install it, but then the dependency itself fails to install because of a further missing dependency of its own. This is two steps into "dependency hell". This doesn't occur with a Flatpak install because all the dependencies are baked into the Flakpak.
