No problem. I'm drifting away from flatpak, anyway. Anything that's married to systemd is going to be a problem for an increasing number of people, over time.
Flatpak was a dumb 5 years ago, it's a dumb now, it will be a dumb in 5 years. Flatpak has always and will always just be a dumb.
Every single time I have to use Flatpak they just end up being an unpleasant experience. Every time I think I find an upside to them, it just ends up becoming an inconvenience.
Even the one big upside everyone always claims makes it better the sandboxing. Just ends up being more hassle than its worth almost every single time.
What The hell are you doing with your flatpacks? I never experienced a single issue with them.
i don't think it's out there to say that flatpaks can be a bit fucky wucky, but yeah it's not some massive issue, they just need to make packaging harder to fuck up
Not even that is really true: https://flatkill.org/
