It's like Git for software. Updates are shipped in a binary repository that just downloads the delta. This works equally well installed system-wide, or installed into a user's home directory with full desktop integration. I've been backing up and restoring the same user-based Flatpak apps across several distribution upgrades by just backing up/restoring my home directory, and absolutely nothing in the Flatpak has broken. There are sometimes issues around permissions restrictions, but in general, Flatpak software just works for me across upgrades and even full distro switches.

I too recommend the flatpak approach, it's simple and it works.
