Ok,
I tried to install the flatpak for the first time and it works.
I do not know what is the deal with the faltpak, but I just followed the
instruction t o install and run and seems it is running without any
problems.
I was about to update the Flacon and found there is something wrong with
their release key so was searching the solution. Flacon also provide
faltpak version and it says that is the way they recommend (Now, is that
really true?) to install packages so I gave it to try.
A.M.W.C.
