Talk:Flatpak

The guide doesn't should mention setting the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable as the user gets the following warning:

Note that the directories

'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share' '/home/$USER/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'

are not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the session is restarted.

Flatkill
Flatkill is not a good resource, it's both FUD and factually innacurate. It gets brought up in every discussion about flatpak and gets dissected every time:
