I tried (only very few) flatpak apps yet. One was rocket.chat. I stopped using it because I was never able to save file people sent me via rocket. Actually the app was behaving totally normal but I never were able to find any download on my whole system.
That was on Tumbleweed just a few months ago. So let me ask the question how well this stuff really works as of today?
The quality of a Flatpak probably depends a lot on what software it is. For example, I have this game on Steam which uses Steam Proton that would not boot out of the box on any (non-Debian) distro-packaged Steam, so I had to hunt down some dependencies for Arch, set some stuff in the config file for NixOS, and for openSUSE Tumbleweed I still don't know why it doesn't work. The reason why I don't know why it doesn't work is because I decided to give Flatpak Steam a shot, and literally on the first boot of the game it works. No crashes, no more me needing to dive into wikis. The same applies to my other games too.
Also, since codecs can't be packaged into the official repo due to licensing issues. Mozilla's Flatpak of Firefox is more convenient for me as I don't have to worry about managing a codec repo when the Flatpak already has some of the codecs so I can say watch Youtube videos or Twitch streams.
And will the legal team approve openSUSE distributing such a flatpack with the codecs included? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.3 (Legolas))
