Is there a downside to Flatpak?

Basically title.

I’m wondering if a package manager like flatpak comes with any drawback or negatives. Since it just works on basically any distro. Why isn’t this just the default? It seems very convenient.

You only need flatseal on GNOME. KDE has it baked into the settings

Thank for the information. i didn't know since i use vanilla os :)

Kde has many things baked into the settings that gnome hasn't. GNOME is just more beautiful (and has PaperWM which is why I have to use GNOME)

can you elaborate on this? I'm on nobara and I had a hard time trying to get flatseal to work for syncthing
