Hey All, I’ve hear lots of people talk positively about Flatpaks, but every app I’ve installed through Flatpaks simply won’t work. They’ll install and initially run ok, but the second you use the app either it just doesn’t do what it is supposed to do or I get weird permission issues. Uninstalling then using the deb package or other direct installs gives me apps that actually work. And it seems the Pop Shop no longer gives me any identification of whether the app is a deb or flat pack.

Anything I can look into on the system to see if there is something on my end that needs changed? The more I hear Pop is heading down the Flatpak road, the more I’m thinking of hopping off the train.

    Only apps installed that I haven’t had issues with flatpak:
    Handbrake
    Shortwave
    Tor
    Putty

    Likely a few more that I uninstalled in frustration. And I’m not 100% sure about Handbrake. I stopped using it for the Blu-ray rips, and stuff that interacts with the filesystem tend to break the most in flatpaks.
