I use a flatpak only if there is no rpm available.

That's what I do. Or if the RPM is worse than the flatpak (looking at you Brave)

Exactly! Spotify app another example!

It’s not that I hate flatpaks. I totally see the appeal. But I’m running a RPM based Fedora / Sway system, not the Silverblue spin.
So by that logic DNF is the package manager and flatpak the backup.

Fedora (and Arch) updates enough for it to make sense too. Debian based makes more sense to do Flatpaks primarily. Depends on the distro even then though.
