GNOME Software already has a hidden setting for this:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/blob/0709681441daf6b182a0...
It defaults to Flatpaks because they are sandboxed and are much safer than
unsandboxed applications.
... *when* they are sandboxed ...
Unfortunately, in many cases, they aren't.
However, I believe Flatpaks built from Fedora RPMs should take
precedence
over Flatpaks built from Flathub. Flathub should only be preferred when
there is no Fedora Flatpak available.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
