    Try using outdated tools with deprecated dependencies, and then those deprecated dependencies need old versions of libs you have the newer versions installed.

      I mean I’ve done a thing or two but honestly the worst problem I’ve had in recent years is trying to get a flatpak to work in Linux mint / newest Ubuntu because something about Qt had changed.

      For the most part it works, without the ads, unlike the “competition”. I also get an advantage in that it’s basically a native thing for me at this point, so I’m better than a lot of my co-workers at using it (which is inevitable because Linux is basically the entire Internet).
