The day some essential software (such as Firefox) is only available as flatpak on Tumbleweed (whether audited or not), will be the day I seriously consider switching distro. I sort of understand why the trend is to run software into boxes into boxes, but I really dislike it.
Would you mind to elaborate why? I would like to stress out that you
will not be "forced" to download Firefox from flathub. You will get the
same Firefox as you get today from OBS, it will just be a flatpak and
not an rpm so that it can be reused across all released distributions
(actually any Linux distribution supporting flatpak).
Cheers,
Dan
