Its even worse when you force Firefox to use wayland its icon doesn’t even show.

Edit: Oh since everyone now is confused; I only have the flatpak version of Firefox installed yet it doesn’t use the pinned icon and doesn’t even use the firefox icon under wayland at all.

          Yes. I do have some applications installed as flatpak. What’s the problem?

            That’s the whole problem, don’t use flatpak. It’s the worst way of solving a problem that’s already solved.

              This comment chain feels like talking to a brick wall. It’s just “don’t use flatpak” over and over again but with different words.

                  Almost all popular applications on flathub come with filesystem=host, filesystem=home or device=all permissions

                  So if I checked the permissions with flatseal and that statement isn’t true for any of my flatpacks…where do we go from here?

    I never intend to use a flatpak or snap, and avoid them like the plague. The whole concept is incredibly ugly to me, and wasteful of computer resources.

      I don’t really understand why you would do anything other than native install unless you really, really need the performance.

      Edit: 5 months later and I recognize this was a shit take.

      Depends on the viewpoint. As a software consumer, sure. As a software producer though, not having to deal with with tons of different packaging formats and repositories for different distributions and versions is a blessing.

          You aren’t owed a native package for whatever OS you’re using. In fact, you should be thankful that flatpak exists because the most common alternative is piping wget into shell.

          And if you care so much about security, just build your stuff from source. Whether flatpak or apt, at some point you will run third-party code.
