    • Permissions are very vague (if that’s the right word. Sorry non-native English speaker). Like you start having issues with an app then hours later you find out it has no access. That happened to me with steam when I was trying to use my second SSD to save my games and the thing would never work. It took me hours to find out I needed to give it permission. And for that I had to download flatseal. There should be a warning or something I don’t know.
    • Storage. They take too much space
    • Theming. They (in my case) would never respect my system theme. They just have their own mind and don’t care what theme the system has. You have to use flatseal again to give them some kind of permission, and that I still don’t know how to do. And if it’s a system theme (like one of those system wide themes, gets even more complicated).
      AUR saved me. Now I don’t ever touch flatpaks. To clarify, I still appreciate all the hard work being done on them, they’re just not for me.
      EDIT: all the above is a major turn off for new users. I know they’re all user error (except the storage maybe), but a new user is already probably flustered, and they don’t need more confusion.

    LOL. I don’t live in a hot climate? How about the middle east? Does that sound hot enough? I grew up living in a tent. A literal tent until I was about 20, then my father decided to build a house. Then that house had no power until 2008. And our weather there can get to 130+ easily. So, imagine that heat. Imagine how getting into a car would feel. Here is a photo I took of a thermometer I took in June of 2009. It was around 1 pm. I was on a military base that day. It won’t kill you, you will be fine. Open your windows and wait outside a little so you don’t melt. lol
