I can't see it being your fault that something (flatpak) that touts itself as being "Create one app and distribute it to the entire Linux desktop market." They tried that with Java, it wasn't true. I say the same about appimages (similar claim from them, doesn't work fully for me, I can't get MuseScore to print - it attempts, but does nothing). And you've experienced the same with flatpak (partially working software). I find it very hard to believe that one compilation will work on all distros of Linux. You have different system (and support) files, and filepaths. To even attempt that, you'd have to compile everything into the application, for one huge executable. While flatpak likes to claim you avoid lock-in with any particular vendor, they're clearly trying to do their own lock-in. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.10.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 3 14:28:03 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
