Just a heads up, if you want to try flatpack then here are some things to know. I used Manjaro XFCE and tried to install a few games with flatpack since I was assuming all the dependencies would match the program your installing making it sound like it's almost failsafe to use with little or no failures.

I was wrong, nothing installed and worked and one opened and shut so fast I wasn't sure I say the outline of a window. Another game opened then ran fine but the graphic were it appeared one single white area with an outline at the top and bottom, not color no texture at all just a plane flat white shape so that was total failure.

Now the part they don't tell you about is having Pamac install everytime even for small shit Open Desktop architecture that is well over 100mb for each program. I have the room but on WiFi it's wait wait and wait again for everything I add, truly shit thing to leave out of the basic information. It adds a lot of size to the programs like with Etcher, etcher is basically the DD command with a scripted GUI but they make it portable by using Electron that is slow as shit to start but it works unlike the Flatpack programs I tried, which is bigger by quite a bit.

I'd go over snap but it's super PC "PC stands for Pretentious Cunts btw" Ubuntu so I don't do Ubuntu so that'll never happen.

I've installed a few things with flatpack, it's a clumsy system and heavy, like you pointed out, but it's worked for me. I much prefer adding a repo but I understand that's not an option for some devs. Good luck

I ended up not using the official game but an AUR current version and Pamac got that one to run, scary how the official is shit but the AUR one runs like the official one should have run.

The one that was best looking free and I could play was a fork of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup in the AUR with the name in Pamac of crawl-tiles 0.26.1-1.

I saw the people doing runs on the server had live not recorded one person runs and it was pretty amazing how fast some of those players on that server were. I wasn't even sure what was happening half the time since I died around 100 times and never got past level 6 but it was fun either way so it's ok to die then.
