According to Door Knocker, almost half of the portals are unavailable on Ubuntu 16.04, compared to only one unavailable on Fedora 39 with GNOME, which means Flatpaks running here may have more limited capabilities than usual.

Having a rock-solid Debian stable as a desktop with up-to-date softwares when it matters. It sounded impossible a few years ago but that might be achievable now with Flatpak. That’s awesome.
I basically do this with Debian + Docker right now and yes, it is awesome
Try podman and distrobox. Podman runs as the local user and distrobox simplifies it so you can run GUI apps and have full file access
I nees to try this. I’m currently running Debian stable + Flatpak, but not being able to access all local files from things like Firefox is really forcing me to jump through hoops.
Really? It should be a XDG portal. What environment are you running?
Sway with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr. I can open a single file, but not directories of static content. So CSS, images, links all fail to load. Opening a single image or PDFs work fine.
That’s very odd. Maybe you are missing a dependency or the features you are looking for simply are not in older software
Exactly what I usual say, the best of the two worlds. There are still a few annoyance though, the theme integration part that is easy to fix and not being able to get Ungoogled working with a KeePassXC when both are Flatpaks
I also like nix because it is lighter on resources.
