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.

But flatpaks when done right have all their settings in their container.
If you want a totally vanilla experience, maybe run it from a systemd-enabled rootful distrobox? Flatpak needs systemd and that is not supported in rootless distroboxes
Many Flatpaks aren't done right (though this is easy to fix after installing them, no need for Distrobox in this case), and Flatpaks don't require systemd.
Really? But afaik I couldnt install flatpak in distrobox. Maybe the apps themselves dont require it but the install process?
They may not require systemd but some init system.
Flatpak has no relation at all to systemd.
It likely just didn't have permissions.
