The title says it all. I would like to know what software you have in a flatpak. If you want to include your reasoning, go ahead.
I use flatpak for virtually everything because sandboxing your applications from each other and from your private data is a great idea to improve your system security. This helps prevent one compromised app from taking actions that affect the rest of your system.
For example, I have the VLC flatpak and used flatseal to revoke internet access because I only use it to play files. If a file tries to exploit VLC, it will not be able to upload any data or communicate with the attacker’s servers. I revoke any permissions my apps don’t actually need.
There are a few exceptions though. I run development and administrative tools directly because I do actually want unrestricted access to the system for these apps.
I like Bottles. Makes Wine less of a hassle.
proprietary software that I don’t trust, or programs that aren’t on zypper

Please add stuff if you have additions
I would say the comment for mullvad browser just to use librefox is dangerous and wrong, the no script from mullvad browser served me well by exporting it to other browsers even to mobile.
There is no Librefox, its Librewolf ;D
Noscript is an extension that can be installed on all Firefox Desktop Variants, Chromium Desktop, Brave Desktop (and many more Desktop Chromium browsers) as well as all versions of Firefox for Android. Possibly also Kiwix, which is some hacky Desktop Chromium for Android.
The one that causes dependency version conflicts when installed normally
Element(Matrix Chat Client) because it’s not in the repos.
Never use flatpaks for stuff available in your packet manager…
Why not aren’t flatpaks safer. I removed firefox on tumbleweed and installed the flatpak because its updated faster.
You’re right. Don’t listen to the dumbdumb.
