Not at all. I think this falls into the category of "unknown unknowns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_are_known_knowns". If there was idiocy, it was the others on this list who didn't ask if flatpak was involved, but as Donald Rumsfeld https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Rumsfeld famously mentioned, unknown unknowns are problematic.

have a lot of subtle problems which crop up for the novice user like me.
The problems are the same as you could encounter on a normal install, but the sandbox limits your ability to troubleshoot.
