The root filesystem is read-only. While you can mount it read+write and make changes, these will be lost after updates. This feels more like Android, while Mobian and the others are closer to traditional desktop Linux distros.
UBPorts doesn't (currently) support Flatpacks, or Snaps. You can run standard Linux applications through Libertine containers, but currently only command-line programs are supported right now because xwayland is broken. You'll mostly have to stick with apps from the OpenStore.
The main advantage of UBPorts, in my opinion, is the Lomiri desktop, which I prefer to Phosh. Lomiri is currently being packaged for Debian, Postmarket and Manjaro, but for now UBPorts provides the best experience for it.
