Oh god yeah that's the fate of snap and flat pack.

Install OBS studio, current version has some issues oh look there's a flat pack install the flat pack instead. OBS runs great. Oh, I need some plugins Go to install the plugins, The plugins folder isn't where it belongs. I scrape along and find the plugins folder I try to shove them in there doesn't work. Oh I need to find the flat pack installer for the plugin.... But half the s*** I want isn't available.

I truly appreciate them trying to make things more universal and easier. But it's a fine line we're walking between easy but unconfigurable and non-standard complicated but flexible.
