Once in a while I check the installed packages for a possible dependency on GTK and when I find a program which has one, I look for an alternative to have one dependency less.
The last time I replaced simple-scan with skanlite and it is a much much better scanning program and with a more pleasant ui on top.
For some reason it is not yet on Flathub
Assuming you are using Mint, Skanlite can be found in the software manager.
I am not using Mint and it is also in the Fedora repos, but there is no reason for it to not be on Flathub. Maybe when I find the time I try to package it.
Honestly, for me, if it's available from my OS's repos and not horribly out of date, I use that one.
I'd rather have my app just work, not consume twice the resources and actually listen to my theme (inc the mouse, somehow)
On KDE Plasma theming and Cursors work with Flatpaks normally
bazzite defaults to the Breeze cursor
I changed it to the Breeze Light cursor
Flatpaks (so 90% of graphical stuff on bazzite) show me the Breeze (dark) cursor
I experienced the same on Debian KDE
It does not work fine on all KDE Plasmas, but it sure must be great for some KDE Plasma users out there that their cursor theme works in Flatpak
Still eats ludicrous amounts of resources and makes file management and sharing through the app a bitch, either way
