On my main machine, on which I have several containerised apps, I've hit the following containerisation issues:
- Firefox demanding to be made the default browser every few weeks (it already is)
- Gamepad inputs not being passes to apps seemingly at random (not permissions-related)
- Some apps being unable to start a Vulkan context
- Dark/light theme not applying for some apps
- Never knowing where to find config files for any given app
- CSD occasionally not working for some apps
Those are just the issues I can remember off the top of my head, but there have been many more. Both flatpak and snap feel shockingly half-baked, more akin to a tech demo with some fancy tooling than a battle-tested piece of foundational infrastructure.
Sure, maybe a lot of this is the fault of the apps themselves not having been built with containerisation in mind: but wherever the fault lies, it's still a rough experience for users.
