    Yeah, would much rather a package designed for my distro than a flatpak.

    I recall a time where the native package on my distro wasn’t working at all, I think this was when I was using discord and tried to use Vencord on Debian 12, so I tried the flatpak version and again it did not work. I was between a rock and a hard place, do I troubleshoot what is essentially a containerized/sandboxed application or try to figure out what’s going on my host machine.

    I chose the latter and eventually got it working, but now I don’t use discord so waste of my time regardless.

      if properly implemented, it shouldn’t matter. much the same way android apks works in pretty much any android “distro”, despite a few snags on the more aggressive manufacturer roms.

        No, Flatpak limitations literally make it impossible to get all Discord features working. It’s not a problem with the config, it’s a design flaw of Flatpak itself.

          then it’s not properly implemented yet, on either side.

          i’m curious as to which ones though, what can’t you do?
