Running this with "flatpak run org.kicad.KiCad" runs the application, but the fonts problem (very small fonts for native wx widgets) is not resolved.
We decided to keep the 5.1 flatpak on wx 3.0, and switch to wx 3.1 for 6.0 (and 5.99). So again, another reason for you to skip 5.1, I guess.
I read from your messages, that you can already run 5.99 successfully, but if you want to try, I'd be excited to hear how building the kicad-nightly flatpak works for you.
While I can run 5.99 from official kicad-nightly it suffers from the 'small fonts' problem which makes it very hard to use.
I tried building kicad from gitlab with wx3,1 latest and built
something that sort of worked, and didn't suffer from the small
fonts problem, but also as soon as 3D initialisation started it
crashed with the DRI 2 authorisation message. (this doesn't happen
with nightly).
I would *really* appreciate an ubuntu "official" nightly build of 5.99 that uses wx3.1....
