snapcraft VS flathub

Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

My personal favourite IDE for java is Intellej Idea. Apart from not demanding the extra extension, It was designed special for Java and Java related languages so it runs java smoothly with great compilation time. so lets install it. Make sure you have snap before installing it

Linux Mints App Store is full of GUI programs, Snap Store ist full of it, Flathub is full of it.

You are being lazy. But I recommend bringing your ass directly to snapcraft.io and reading those documents in the Learn section!!

https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft - not sure, but looks like a building tools for snaps

Besides, there may be other ways to install them, although there doesn't seem no such Flatpak packages in Flathub. For example, some senerio to use some release channel or Docker / Podman. Additionally, when you use a different Linux distro where systemd is adopted and therefore can do Snaps (Snapd), you have another possibility.

Devuan GNU+Linux is a fork of Debian without systemd and hence Snaps (Snapd). Even on it, it's easy to install Android Studio and start to develop Android mobile apps.

No, flatpak doesn't use distributions package managers. It doesn't need RPM/DEB packages to work. Today if you want to distribute a flatpak application, you build it once, upload it to flathub.org and it will show up in countless distributions like SteamOS 3 and Pop_OS!.

if you wanna install in terminal using flatpak please go to : https://flathub.org/ to make your life easier.

Yes you can install anything available here https://flathub.org/

Flathub: https://flathub.org

All flathub.org flatpaks are available in Discover. You can have a look there to see if you can find what you need. Discord, Spotify, Zoom, MS Teams and ONLYOFFICE (if you need good MS Office compatibility) are all there. I think it comes with Firefox pre-installed, but I'm pretty sure the Deck UI's non-steam tab comes with a one-click installer for Chrome, if that's more your speed. There's also a Chromium flatpak in Discover.

The Discover store is the KDE application for installing/updating/removing things - which in the Steam Deck is used to handle Flatpaks from Flathub.

Linux users typically do not install software like this, we use a package manager (a bit like the app stores on phones) to install stuff instead. SteamOS comes with Flatpak, so you can go over to FlatHub and start installing stuff.
