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.

Flatpack apps performance on Linux Mint (lemmy.ca)

I did notice that sometimes the flatpack version of a program didn't seem to recognise my graphic card. I've seen this first with Handbrake, but also with other apps it seems that i get better performance with the mint package or the official ppa. Did anyone notice anything similar?

I'm using Mint on an old HP laptop with a nvidia card so if anything I'm glad that everything is recognised properly (safeboot disabled).

Make sure that the apps have access to your discrete graphics card. Flatseal allows you to manage flatpak permissions

The permission OP should look for is DRI.
