System themes, probably most of them work. But most of them don’t bother watching the user themes or icons folder.

I don’t think Flatseal is that useful for the majority of users, no. But it is a good tool to have in mind when the need arises.

It is mostly trial and error. I use it mostly to set envvars.

As an example, I add the ~/.themes folder and the GTK_THEME to allow some apps to get the themes I downloaded.

About the image: The joke’s on you, I install my flatpaks via the terminal.

I’ve started using flatpaks more after starting using Bazzite and I liked them more than I expected. As a dev, I still need my work tools to be native, but most of my other needs are well covered by flatpaks.

Tip: Flatseal is a great config manager for flatpaks’ permissions.

+1 to ZorinOS recommendation.

It’s beautiful, and has a lot of “oh, you came from Windows” user interactions. Like how it recommends similar programs from the store if you run a Windows installer, or installs and configures wine if you still want to run the .exe.

I use it myself even as an “older” Linux user.
