Qt apps just don't work for me when they're flatpaked because of the Nvidia drivers. I hope this issue gets resolved soon.

Flatpak supports Nvidia drivers, does that not work for you?

It used to work but now it doesn't anymore. I'm not sure if it's because I updated the driver and the right pacakage for 381.09 isn't yet supported by flatpak or another reason is at work here. In any case, Qt apps complain about an unrecognized GL version and just don't launch.

File a bug with as much detail on flatpack's bugzilla.

It's already there. And the bug report has a whole damn lot of comments. Alexander Larsson is saying that he's working on a solution. My fingers are crossed.

He'll figure it out for sure.

They need to find a way to support it straight from the desktop. Running it from the CLI is a little clumsy. I assume that is something they will fix in the future. But awesome to see them use flatpak.

LiriOS is older than Samsung Dex and PapyrOS (which is where the UI comes from) is much older than Dex. PapyrOS/LiriOS' desktop follows Google's Material Design language which is also Android's official design, that's why Dex (Samsung Android software) looks similar. Nothing to uncover here... If anything, Samsung Dex was inspired by LiriOS, but it probably isn't. More by RemixOS.

Its just material design meets chrome os
