Unfortunately they seem to have released an Alpha version, not even Beta. It's buggy, lacking components and compatibility. Maybe it's a better idea than X-Windows, but so far the implementation is useless.

Unfortunately it solves dependencies by creating other issues. I only use flatpak or snap if deb or author install isn't available. Maybe it's a good idea and it's not as broken as Wayland. It may also by default only install for the user installing (or upgrading).
