For example, theming shouldnt have to be a 10 step process. Make Flatpaks use your themes correctly. Another thing is QT Theming, why is it outside of KDE you can’t use the breeze style? It’s the best and most consistent application style for QT apps. And the final point, when is the naming scheme of org.foo.bar going to be fixed to be the actual name of the package rather than the technical name. Flatpak remove and flatpak install both work without giving the full name, so why doesn’t flatpak run? The naming is the only thing snaps have over flatpak. If nothing is been done how can I contribute?

    The org.foo.bar thing is done so that multiple packages with the same name can coexist. It’s a design choice, not something that gets fixed. It would be nice to be able to type in the name of the package and it looks for the package like in flatpak remove and install though.

      The problem with “org” part. We’ll never have org.gnome and com.gnome packages. Some apps have io.github.foo.bar. This entire thing is also case sensitive, so I have to guess is org.gnome.epiphany right name or org.gnome.Epiphany.

        But you don’t have to guess package names. Installing a Flatpak adds an entry to the Applications menu so you already have a shortcut. If for some reason you need to find out the names, there’s flatpak list.

    , theming shouldnt have to be a 10 step process. Make Flatpaks use your themes correctly.

    Finally someone shares my opinion, but be careful you’ll get downvoted. Here’s what I’ve said in the past:

    All the current themes, versions and tweaks of GNOME are inconsistent (…) it is only on Linux that you launch an App and suddenly it doesn’t respect your theme and goes back to some basic thing because it runs on flatpak and there’s some bullshit about it. Or… your password management can’t communicate with the browser…

    https://github.com/flathub/org.keepassxc.KeePassXC/issues/29#issuecomment-559476300 A password manger can’t community with a Browser as it is. This makes both useless and kills one of the best use cases for Flatpak.

    it’s like, literally one step, I just gave it permission to one directory and the it themed my qt and gtk apps. I wish it was on by default from my distro
