If you know what flatseal is and how to set permissions, it gets a lot better.

Flatseal, flat sweep, and warehouse will manage all your flatpaks as you see fit. And Gear Lever for managing all your appImages.

Or KDE's built-in Flatpak permissions settings. But yeah I guess, it's mostly needed for applications that haven't adopted to the new Portal API's yet which is the better solution, but this works for now until applications have updated.

I am super thankful for flatpaks. I do wish I understood things a little better in flat seal though. can do some basics but I don't know or understand what 95% of the flat seal options are for a given piece of software or why some of the fixes I've put in from when I'm googling a problem actually work.
