I'm gonna be honest I've never had a flatpak version of something ever work properly.

There was even one popular media player that only came in flatpak form or otherwise build from source.

So obviously, for no reason at all, it barely functioned compared to other applications I had already tried.

Congrats to you people put there somehow running things like Steam with no problems lmao.

Here only the core OS and the basic part of the DE is from the Linux repository. The rest are all flatpaks.

As someone once involved with OS Security, I beg you not to use FlatPaks.

You can't just make a statement like this without giving a hint of evidence or justification

Flatpak is not perfect security-wise but is a step in the right direction
