Flatpaks are slow and do not respect the theming of the system at all, such as when using Alpaca on Hyprland, even though dark mode is set using xdg-desktop-portal, Alpaca runs in light mode. This is an issue inherent with flatpak apps, in that they don't follow theming sometimes. This can turn out to be a minor or major inconvenience for some who are uncomfortable with light themes. Instead, packaging them for .deb, .rpm and maybe even putting it up in the AUR might be helpful those people who do not like the slow loading times of flatpak apps.

Hi I've used Hyprland before, this is not a problem with flatpaks, you might be missing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Jeffser commented 4 weeks ago

And also, there's no reason why a Flatpak would be slower.

I might add the app to the AUR but no promises

For this software flatpak is ideal you using .rpm or .deb will make your system more complicated. This .deb and mrpm should be kept for only core system softwares.
