I’ve been involved with Linux for a long time, and Flatpak almost seems too good to be true:
Just install any app on any distro, isolated from the base system and with granular rights management. I’ve just set up my first flatpak-centric system and didn’t notice any issues with it at all, apart from a 1-second waiting time before an app is launched.

What’s your long-term experience?

Notice any annoying bugs or instabilities? Do apps crash a lot? Disappear from Flathub or are unmaintained? Do you often have issues with apps that don’t integrate well with your native system? Are important apps missing?

    Perfection. Debian + GNOME Software + Flatpak = Rock solid and clean OS with the latest software.

    There are a few things that still need to be ironed out tho. For eg. communication between desktop apps and browser extensions such as this.

    Another thing I would like to see is a decent and supported way to mirror flathub and/or have offline installations.
