Ubuntu MATE 22.04 Will Include Flatpak by Default
Flatpak support will be included in Ubuntu MATE 22.04 out of the box — making it the first official Ubuntu flavour to offer it. All Ubuntu flavours ship with Snap support preinstalled as well the ability to use regular apt repos. Flatpak, however, is something users have to go out of their way to install at a later date. But Ubuntu MATE fans running the next LTS will find they don’t need to as Flatpak is already present. Better yet, all the required desktop integrations with portals are present and working by default. A tiny but telling step; further proof

Can't say I'm excited by this, flatpak and snap are two technologies that serve no useful function. They both defeat shared libraries by packaging libraries with the app and waste resources.
