Why is everything on Flathub mildly risky? Im looking at Steam it says can use mic without permission or lutris says can get data from services that arent related or protonvpn says can access your camera, why do they need so many permissions?
Just got the Ver 29 Shotcut flatpak in a recent update. Crashes on launch. Turned out the font cache was jacked up.
The is the fix. May want to keep it handy for future updates...
```rm -rf \~/.var/app/org.shotcut.Shotcut/cache/fontconfig
rm -rf \~/.var/app/org.shotcut.Shotcut/.cache/fontconfig
flatpak run --command=fc-cache org.shotcut.Shotcut -f -v``
Flatpak is today's preferred distribution platform for graphical desktop apps, yet it isn't popular for terminal apps, and for good reason! Launching CLI apps is difficult and not very user-friendly. However, Flatpak can take inspiration from other systems to improve CLI app usage.
