But we're not talking about rolling or cutting edge distros. MX is based on Debian Stable. Also last time I checked (about a month ago) MX Linux does support Flatpak. Also also, you can enable systemd if you want, but seeing as we're talking about a distro for complete beginners, I don't think they're going to notice, know, or care. Also also also, I really don't care enough about this to drag it out into some protracted argument.
Download ventoy, slap a few distros on a usb stick, try them, use what you like.
No software worth its salt offers only flatpak installation. I don't use flatpak at all and Blender works flawlessly. I'm not sure what a flatpak version could possibly do any better than the version I use.
shutting out a significant portion of your community without seeking their input first isn't a sensible move for such a foundational open source project.
It actually is a perfectly sensible move, and it doesn't "shut out" anyone. If anything, prioritizing twitter is what shuts users out. They linked to two-three alternatives. What's the argument here, exactly, from the other side?
Last I checked Loops required users to completely sign away every imaginable right to the content they posted. Unless that's changed I'm not too thrilled with them.

I have a deep hatred of flatpak and so strongly disagree with this comment.
