I tried it recently and had so many issues with it like apps not indexing in the “open with” file menu, and flatpak apps not interfacing with any system functionality.

    It is certainly debatable whether cachyos is a beginner distro. That aside though, there may be some “lost in translation” effect going on in regards to flatpak. I’ve used arch for somewhere in the ballpark of 15 years, and have still to find a usecase on this distro.

    I can certainly see the benefits on less bleeding edge distros though. Are you positive your issues come from lack of flatpack integration, and not from using flatpack in the first place?

      Agreed. The need for Flatpak goes way down in a distro with access to the AUR.

      I use Flatpak for pgAdmin because the Arch packages are terrible. But it is the only one.
