Modern Linux distros tend to have configuration and dependency issues where certain packages if installed the "Linux Way" doesn't completely work as desired at times depending on the distro or even a desktop spin (which might have different default libraries installed than the "main" one). Flatpak is a single configuration meant to work one single way across all distributions and has become more of a standard, usable way for Linux applications to just work.

Use Flatpak. Easy to install and easy to tweak from flatseal or similar GUI Flatpak permission tweakers if you want more flexibility at the possible cost of security.
