@fabiscafe
flathub is absolutely the best solution in this area, at least in my opinion, but it's still flawed - e.g. the discord flatpak can't see what game you're playing, firefox's kde plasma integration is broken, etc.

and of course, flatpak doesn't do command line programs

@lynnesbian hmm What Plasma integration does not work?

For the rest, yes. Discord would probably need another portal to look up processes and I dont know if this would be a good idea at all. But given how broken this functionality is on Linux in general I dont see any need to act on it tbh.

CLI apps are possible. It's just that they probably need to read outside the runtime and so would need to be build around portals (that probably dont exist rn). Maybe not worth it..

@lynnesbian Yeah. Sure thats a problem. Still i think this as a general one, outside of flatpak. Addons should not communicate without restrictioins to the system below. It's just that only now we have such a restriction that apps cant simply do whatever they want. But yes, it's problematic for now.
