At least, flatpak is already installed by default in the openSUSE
distribution. So it may be something more common than snap. It's good to
know for the future.

Does flatpak require a service to be running similar to snapd? Is flatpak
also reliant on a backend store (run by Canonical or similar)?
I'm afraid I'm not able to answer your question. I found this
explanation: "Flatpak is using OSTree, which is a kind of hardlink system. A
hardlink is a way for the filesystem to point to the same object on disk from
two or more different places."
For example, OpenBoard is started by:
/usr/bin/flatpak
run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=openboard --file-forwarding
ch.openboard.OpenBoard @@ %f @@
As far as I understand, once the flatpak has been installed localy from
flathub, it's run localy.
The downside is that the packages are quite big (they contain most, if not all
dependancies). The advantage is that the program does not rely on the
libraries installed with the distribution, so you can have programs that are
newer than those included in the distro.
I don't master the other technical subtilities.
