Come back in another decade when things like Flatpak are actually usable without giving up a bunch of features or having to change settings or do workarounds to get everything working.

I think is very dependent on the apps you install because i haven't need to do really any workarounds and i install all my apps through Flatpak. The only messing around with permissions i do is disabling everything that i dont need (like printer or smartcard access). I also have over a hundred apps installed.

It’s still not possible to make Discord work correctly in Flatpak

What features? Discord was working perfect for me on a custom client (Vesktop) but is broken now because they hate me using a VPN.

Ok. I guess I never noticed because I actively don't like any of those features and I definitely don't want Discord to have unrestricted filesystem access. The file picker in Vesktop works for me without giving full access.
