Another commenter recommended Flatseal. I now have it installed and I’ll give it a shot when I run into an issue.

Not the individual apps, no. Figured it might be something more systemic with Flatpak itself or my system. Was expecting to be pointed to logs to investigate.

The Deb installs mostly. Example, when I installed Lutris, it wouldn’t allow me to install games on the extra NVMe drive I have in the system. I uninstalled Lutris and installed the deb version from the Pop Shop (when you COULD do that) and it allowed me to install games where I liked. Just chalked it up to a Flatpak problem. Now I have Lutris installed, use it without issues, and I’m not going to try and solve Flatpak issues by re-installing it. It’s not worth my time.

I’m not looking for specific app help. Just had so many issues with different apps installed with Flatpak that I figured there might be something in the system or Flatpak itself that I needed to look into. I’ll use Flatseal the next time I have an issue to see if that helps.

But I got bamboozled in 2007-2012 by the financial crisis and instead of blaming Bush and his cronies, I decided to blame the newly elected black guy. Everyone else should now suffer since my privilege was exposed as not rich enough to be unaffected!!!

Currently, any flatpak apps that don’t work properly are installed with other means, so I don’t have any non-working apps . If I run into that again, I’ll give it a try.

No use using flatpak if the installed apps won’t run properly. Be nice if they did, but they don’t.

Calibre
Discord
Filebot
Lutris
OpenRGB
Proton Mail
ProtonUp-QT
Spotify

Only apps installed that I haven’t had issues with flatpak:
Handbrake
Shortwave
Tor
Putty

Likely a few more that I uninstalled in frustration. And I’m not 100% sure about Handbrake. I stopped using it for the Blu-ray rips, and stuff that interacts with the filesystem tend to break the most in flatpaks.

TV streaming STARTED fragmented. Just it was all bundled together in a cable subscription. The (ineffective) moderator in that were the cable companies like Comcast, who were always trying to negotiate the price of a channel down. Suddenly with streaming, you could start your own service and getting dropped by someone like Comcast wasn’t the death sentence it used to be. The TV content creators are dealing with the end user for the first time.

The music industry long ago learned they get better sales when all their vynal/cassettes/CDs are available at Kmart/Walmart/Best Buy/etc. The music industry DID fragment a bit with online streaming, but those quickly failed. And the artists soon realized that being cool and exclusive to iTunes lead to less money for them.

Poor Steelers fans. But at least we’ll get some good content from Tree. Pray for his liver.

Yet they’ll head out and vote Republican every time.

The talking heads are sleeping on the Lions forgetting that down the stretch they had to start 3rd and 4th stringers just to put a defense on the field.

But I really do think it is our year.

Up next: Michigan Bill will privatize Police, Fire Fighters, Schools, and infrastructure projects.

They’re living in the past, trying to stimulate an economy that no longer exists, and not realizing they are the reason that economy doesn’t exist anymore.

He is living in the past.

Problem is, we’ll be getting even worse spyware with the backing of the Chinese government.

How is Steam running on the Cosmic Alpha?

When the core tenants of your Republicanism is racism and the belief Democrats are baby killing Satanists, you don’t have to think about it, you just vote R.
