How does it stack up against traditional package management and others like AUR and Nix?

    Installing a separate program to make the first program work the way it should in the first place, and opening bugs in repos, is abolutely 100% things end users are willing to do.

      KDE has flatpak settings included, GNOME is doing their thing with unix philosophy and all. Flatseal works fine.

      As I said, you should not need to edit those settings, maybe you need to, and if it generally makes sense (for example GNUmeric only has documents access, nothing else) this needs to be fixed.

      Will not happen often for common apps

          The state of flatpak permissions currently is like that. They can never read each others storage, much like on Android with /storage/emulated/0/Android/data. So it you keep stuff stored inside these apps its safe.

          Until they can use portals, many have permissions to read/write everything
