Also, monetization
Okay, I looked at tofi, I can see the design philosophy there. wofi is gtk-based, so it looks nice if you're using other gtk apps.
Recently though, I've switched to almost exclusively using krunner. It does so much out of the box, and I'm using KDE on my desktop now so it's the same workflow.
How is it compared to wofi?
If you say "a 10d10", I know what you mean, but "10d10" is definitely the sum of 10 10-sided dice.
More people should be like you.
Exact same. Sway's 1.0 release was March of 2019, and it did everything I needed.
Even playing games on my desktop, Xwayland worked fine for me.
Nope. If you open a nonexistent path and you have permissions to write to that directory, then that file is created.
8GB memory + two Firefox profiles makes things difficult on my laptop.
Others have mentioned disk usage and desktop integration. There is some truth to them, but shared runtimes keeps disk uasge down (although worse than native apps). Desktop launchers now search /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications by default, but I'm still having issues with themes in one or two niche apps.
Trust is the big one. The benefit of your distro's packages is that they are maintained by a limited number of maintainers. Flatpaks have a much, much larger number of maintainers, which is where sandboxing comes in. Flathub now marks apps with lax permissions as "potentially unsafe", which is a huge step in communicating this to the average user.
Most desktop apps can get away with having next to no access, as long as they support the appropriate XDG desktop portals.
Ultimately, your mileage will vary, as there are many classes of application which are ill-suited to being sandboxed. Program launchers, programming languages, IDEs, file managers are a few.

I grew up with Fahrenheit, but switched my weather app to use Celsius for a while, and I've internalized it pretty well. It works fine. The "human experience" angle doesn't work anyway because that experience is very locale-dependent.
That's a latrine. They're talking about a fancy light fixture.
