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.

While other flatpak apps have no problems. Any suggestions?

I noticed this too on my slowest machine. I guess you should just use native packages or other formats to fix it (as the other person said). I'd stick with Flatpak if possible though. It's more secure

Anything else works fine, the only other problem I've noticed is that some GTK applications don't respect the KDE Plasma theme (in my case only Quod Libet).
