    The issue with those numbers is that they don’t account for people having multiple devices. My PC, Laptop, and Steam Deck all download apps from flathub, so I’m likely counted multiple times. On the other hand most people only use one device, so the actual numbers probably don’t doffer much. It’s an estimate anyway.

    Edit: I’m not surprised the amount of people using flatpak/flathub increased so much. It’s my preferred method of installing proprietary software and works on any distro, even unconventional ones like NixOS or Alpine. Sandboxing continues to get better, be it isolation or usability.
