Am I the only one that gets angry inside when I install something with flatpak, and then realize that I need to give it custom permissions via cli in order to make it work as it should?

It is stupid, and this is why flatpak is not going to make it easier for "newbies" to adopt free software

Element does this - you can't send a file or download a file to a normal location without going in and tinker with that.

Firefox too

Why does distros push flatpaks into users faces when it is clearly not made for normal users?

Sure, I can manage it - but I can't recommend a distro anymore such as to other people anymore, especially people that is not that handy with computers.

But well, this is why I always return to - no bullshit forced onto me atleast.
