Flatpak is a great package format but has few limitations. The major ones are as follows:

  • UI theme is not synced with the OS
    • especially this affects Dark theme under GNOME
    • even on KDE Plasma, app does not use native theme
  • GPU computation acceleration does not work out-of-the-box
    • Flatpak runtime lacks CUDA and ROCm runtimes (all dependencies have to be shipped with the package)
    • ROCm requires extra elevated permission --device=all to start working
  • Package size is huge

Not-sandboxed package formats for consideration:

  • distribution via AUR (probably the easiest option)
  • deb (Debian and all derivatives)
  • rpm (Fedora, OpenSUSE)
