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.

I've had pretty much the opposite experience most of the time. Constantly dealing with flatpaks not opening or other weird issues that would go away as soon as I tried the AUR version or just installed it manually from the repo.
Weird. I've never had an issue with flatpaks, which makes sense since it's exactly the same on all systems. If it didn't launch for you, it shouldn't have for anyone else either, so the issue should have been fixed before the developer released a new version.
