@danil @fabiscafe
flatpaks definitely support GPU acceleration...

@lynnesbian @fabiscafe not all types, and I mention combination of kernel features+GPU acceleration, and GPU part does not work without kernel features - and flatpak remove kernel features - GPU acceleration that depends on those also removed - slowdown/downgrade

@danil @lynnesbian Is there an example of something that's not possible?

@fabiscafe @lynnesbian entire python ML-CUDA stuff, and its replacement for Vulkan-compute and AMD ROCM.
I step on it few month ago - wanted to install some libs and they were "presented" only in flatpak - I installed - it does not even work because all GPU-kernel features just cut.
I do not remember name, and will not waste time trying to find it.
I also listed Firefox as obvious example - Firefox depends on kernel features that allow to "fast swap GPU-memory" - compare WebGL there.

@danil @lynnesbian True, the entire Nvidia stack depends on a matching version of the nvidia driver inside the flatpak runtime and on the system. If you mix in wayland, you also need GBM and KMS enabled on the "host" side and if you then mix in xwayland, you also need a pretty recent (latest?) driver version. Thats not flatpak, but mostly Nvidia.

So pretty much anything that uses freedesktop runtime >=21.08.9 should work.
