Its even worse when you force Firefox to use wayland its icon doesn’t even show.
Edit: Oh since everyone now is confused; I only have the flatpak version of Firefox installed yet it doesn’t use the pinned icon and doesn’t even use the firefox icon under wayland at all.

Why don’t you use distro’s package manager?
I never intend to use a flatpak or snap, and avoid them like the plague. The whole concept is incredibly ugly to me, and wasteful of computer resources.
The whole concept is incredibly ugly
Depends on the viewpoint. As a software consumer, sure. As a software producer though, not having to deal with with tons of different packaging formats and repositories for different distributions and versions is a blessing.
Yep lazy developers! That doesn’t care about security!
You aren’t owed a native package for whatever OS you’re using. In fact, you should be thankful that flatpak exists because the most common alternative is piping wget into shell.
And if you care so much about security, just build your stuff from source. Whether flatpak or apt, at some point you will run third-party code.
KDE issue, not Gnome issue
Yeah in gnome you don’t even have a dock for the icons lmao
Flatpak … is still not great
ftfy
What issues do you face with Flatpak?
first and foremost you’re using flatpak
Yes. I do have some applications installed as flatpak. What’s the problem?
That’s the whole problem, don’t use flatpak. It’s the worst way of solving a problem that’s already solved.
- What problem?
- How is it already solved?
This comment chain feels like talking to a brick wall. It’s just “don’t use flatpak” over and over again but with different words.
The problem with dependencies, that’s the only reason for people to look at flatpak.
See my other comment, and see https://flatkill.org/
Almost all popular applications on flathub come with filesystem=host, filesystem=home or device=all permissions
So if I checked the permissions with flatseal and that statement isn’t true for any of my flatpacks…where do we go from here?
