From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

@MalReynolds @nerdschleife But flatpak doesn't integrate well with the OS, that's why I keep using the package manager instead.
Fine, you do you.
Flatpak Desktop_integration & XDG_Desktop_Portal
Fedora atomic (I'm using bazzite for gaming only) have Flatpaks enabled by default and are recommended, so it integrates well with the OS.
And seeing where the Linux community is going right now, Flatpak has been widely adopted by most distros which are not Debian based. There are ways to go regarding the packaging for the developers, but there are plenty of apps already on flathub. I'm using it on arch and bazzite and have no problems so far.
I can't comment on the apps the OP requires
Every single way that flatpak doesn't integrate well into the OS is easily fixed with minimal effort.
I'm glad you are here because I have a flatpak problem that I'd like to fix with minimal effort. I'm using the flatpak version of jellyfin media player to access my jellyfin server. I also access the jellyfin server from other machines using either the AUR version of jellyfin media player or the Android app. I only have trouble with the flatpak version. The problem I'm having is that the flatpak jellyfin player doesn't remember the jellyfin server IP address or my login between sessions. I do not have this problem with the AUR or Android versions (or even the Windows version on my wife's laptop), just the flatpak version. Any ideas how to fix that?
That's clearly a bug with how it's storing &/or accessing the credentials. That has nothing to do with desktop integration. Go report it.
