I've switched to a flatpak-based immutable distro lately. It's great when it works. But so many niceties don't work, and then it feels like my computer is not really the fantastic tool it should be. For example:

- I had to run around with a distrobox running WINE and a bunch of permissions and kludges to run an external tool for Godot

- I gave up on the flatpak for Firefox because it can't talk to my KeepassDX flatpak

- The Godot and Krita flatpaks are oddly unstable and crash more than they did on Windows (may just be Gnome or something)

- non-flatpak tools like AppImages and .rpms feel pretty dang grungy

I want to see more cool stuff with Flatpak so seeing the state it's in is kind of a bummer.
