Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault. (lemmy.world)

The headache comes up when multiple third party repositories start conflicting with each other

Which is traditionally why you needed the distro to package your software...

Depends on if you stick to distro provided dependencies, then you are generally good, unless a third party repo decided to supersede that dependency.

I have spent a long time carefully packaging as a third party repository and it's generally doable. Just sometimes another repository isn't as careful and blows away the distribution provided libraries.
