This was the clear implication in the episode. They talked about a “save point” or something to that effect.
But of course, all the others in her timeline are still alive. Her brother, Connor, everyone. There are 2 active versions of them. Her brother probably doesn’t know Connor shot her yet, and will be out for revenge (unless he experienced it with his haptics????). He will be very different from the new stub version where Flynne is alive. Both Connors want to use peripherals to experience life. Next season could become a lot more complicated than this season.

MRF pointed out a couple issues I see arising. Another problem I haven't resolved is the fact Connor would try to kill Flynne in both 2032 stubs. They talked about the plan before Flynne created the new untraceable stub. I guess one Flynne could go for that walk in the woods and the other go talk Connor out of doing it. But how would she know which stub is which once back in her real body???

I have wondered this as well. The problem is we don’t know exactly how this works, creating a stub. I don’t think it is actually created until something changes from the “original” timeline (in this case the original is itself a stub). It might be as simple as sending a message to herself or to Connor “Don’t do it”.

I don't see how the show can handle all this cleanly. But look forward to finding out it works out!
I guess Flynne could send a message but until now she has shown no such capability to do that without help. They could use a 2099 intermediary such as the inspector or Wilf or something inanimate to send a unique message to each 2032 stub. Catch being if anyone knows how to contact the new untraceable 2032 stub then Cherise/RI could find out (whole point of destroying the time piece)...and we are back to square 1.
Flynne took one step closer to becoming 'He who remains'.
Next, she creates the time keepers and Time Variance Authority.

She didn’t hop back into a stub. She died, saving her town from disaster. But she created a stub, a duplicate offshoot of her world, that is unknown to the future. That version of her used a peripheral at the end, and is alive.
Her actions are different from the actions of the Klepts, because there is a “greater good“ in her actions. The Flynne in the surviving timeline (informed- Flynne, mark 2) will continue to work with the Met in order to thwart the Klepts from continuing to jack with the past.

The original stub was created years before. So would she be creating a stub off a stub?

quote:Because that “branch“ took place after the Flynne on that “limb“ had gained that information. Thus, the Flynne in each of the two branches would also have that information.
This is the part that doesn’t make sense logically. The only version of Flynne that should have the RI information is the version that actually broke into the RI. The information was “downloaded” biologically to her brain.
If that version of Flynne died, how does another version still have that info? Does that other version somehow share her memories of time in the peripheral too? This certainly seems to be the case based on her popping back into the future after dying.
One informed-Flynne (mark 1) dies to assure that the other informed-Flynne (mark 2) lives to continue the fight.

But of course, all the others in her timeline are still alive.
Meanwhile, informed-Flynn (mark two) will prevent that terrorism in the new stub.

I thought her actions were, in part, to prevent that from happening. If she is dead, there is no need to go to such drastic steps.

From the millisecond that the stub split into two stubs, there were two Flynnes. She became two identical versions of herself, with all the same knowledge and background.
One let herself die to allow her stub (mark 1) to proceed to the early Jackpot (and throw the Klepts off the scent), so that the other version of her (in the new mark 2 stub) could continue to fight the Klepts.
That is how I see it, anyway.
