Do we have to recommend using Flatpak over Arch packages? It does not seem like a good suggestion long-term... Further, Flatpak itself has some issues, e.g. [the wiki] says "Many Flatpak applications available on flathub are not effectively sandboxed by default." Is it still a viable workaround even without a sandbox? Disclaimer: I've never used Flatpak myself... [the wiki] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Flatpak Cheers, Jakub
