ok, I tried to workaround the issue installing the flatpak from the ubuntu PPA: https://launchpad.net/~flatpak/+archive/ubuntu/stable

But I got another problem when trying to add it:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flatpak/stable      
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 108, in <module>
    sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 118, in __init__
    self.reload_sourceslist()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 613, in reload_sourceslist
    self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)    
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptsources/distro.py", line 91, in get_sources
    raise NoDistroTemplateException(
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Jingos/focal

I think above is because #84

After temporarily changing the ID in /etc/os-release from jingos to ubuntu everything worked as expected:

$ flatpak --version 
Flatpak 1.12.4
$ flatpak install org.chromium.Chromium
...
$ flatpak run org.chromium.Chromium
...

Now I'm enjoying running chromium from a flatpak (which has also the advantage of being a more recent version (97.0.4692.99) than the one that comes with the device (93.0.4577.63)):
