Quoting: mehari95Does anyone know why they chose Flatpak over Snap?

Flatpack has one advantage over snap, like the possibility to bundle a runtime containing common dependencies shared between Flatpack packages. Thus Flatpack packages tends to be much smaller than snap ones. The runtime can be updated separately providing benefits for all other Flatpack apps without breakage.

It seems those devs never heard of the Steam Runtime.
No need to target a specific distro, just build with the Steam Runtime and your game will run basically on any Linux distribution able to run the Steam client.

Don't hold your breath guys.
Unreal's Vulkan support is only available for Android right now.
I wouldn't be surprised if Unity build it for the Google's platform first.
