Without going that far. With Fedora you almost certainly have to deal with extra repos, like RPM-Fusion in order to have a fully working system, or install some proprietary software like Steam, Spotify, Nvidia drivers…
Fair point but… in Fedora the Flathub repository is not there by default. Only Fedora Flatpak repository is present and active after a fresh install and you shall add and activate Flathub repository manually. Today on my main computer I have 18 apps installed from Flathub, and only 3 from Fedora Flatpak.

The Nvidia drivers from rpm fusion are one of the third party repos Software with prompt people to enable on the first time it’s opened.
You don’t certainly have to deal with extra repos if you just want to use Flatpak.

It’s been a while since I setup a fresh install of Fedora, but it looks like this might’ve been changed in Fedora 38?
As far as I can tell, they still “promote” their own repo, but it’ll come up with stuff from Flathub if it’s not in Fedora’s own flatpak repo.
Ah! Good to know. Thanks!
Flathub is enabled by default now. I want to say F37 enabled it by default.
