The Correct Way™ is actually NixOS/GuiX these days.
I had major issues when I used Snap GUI apps. Like it was not clear where did the config file saved to or sometimes the file picker couldn't even detect my drives (due to sandboxing). It was doing its own thing regarding theming.
If Flatpak is anything like this, then it's not a viable solution.

- Crysstalis 4y agoI do not believe NixOS or Guix are shipping these packages with a sandbox that uses the portals, but I could be wrong. I am not sure of anything about Snap, I have never used it. In Flatpak, all the config files are saved to ~/.var/app/. The portal should be able to handle exposing a file from the host, but the app has to be built to use the portal correctly. You can have themes but you must install the flatpak package for them, pulling themes from the host environment is a security issue because technically themes are equivalent to doing code injection.
