I’ve been involved with Linux for a long time, and Flatpak almost seems too good to be true:
Just install any app on any distro, isolated from the base system and with granular rights management. I’ve just set up my first flatpak-centric system and didn’t notice any issues with it at all, apart from a 1-second waiting time before an app is launched.

What’s your long-term experience?

Notice any annoying bugs or instabilities? Do apps crash a lot? Disappear from Flathub or are unmaintained? Do you often have issues with apps that don’t integrate well with your native system? Are important apps missing?

    So how do you delete app data after uninstalling?
    And does uninstalling a flatpak app also uninstall flatpak dependencies that came with it?

      And does uninstalling a flatpak app also uninstall flatpak dependencies that came with it?

      from what I have seen, NO it does not. there is a flatpak command option to clean out unused runtimes.

      delete app data after uninstalling?

      you either manually delete the data, or there’s some flatpak command option, or you can use a tool such as warehouse which is available as a flatpak.
