I recently downloaded linux mint and I wanted use a live wallpaper so I found out I can do that with hidamari.

I’ve downloaded from the software package manager but it doesn’t launch when I click launch.

What am I doing wrong?

    Can you elaborate on that? I am a new Linux user and read a lot about flatpaks in the last week. My impression was, that while space demanding, flatpaks are super easy integrated and that’s why they are so succcessful?

      It depends, since flatpaks are sandboxed, they don’t have access to anything by default. The developer can set defaults for what their app is allowed to access and the user can also manually change that. There’s also portals, so you can give them access for a file once (e.g. when opening in a file in an app) or allow them to see your screen and so on. There’s still a lot of things that don’t have portals tho, so flatpaks don’t have access to that.
