Be careful about using things like flatpack - they work, but by their
nature they run in a "sandbox" isolated from the system.  It's fairly
new technology (at least for Evolution) and things are getting better,
but sometimes you come across things, especially in interactions with
the host system, that just don't quite work as you expect.

This is not meant to put you off, it is good to try these things. But
you should be aware that it isn't a total solution yet. There will no
doubt be many people who now jump in and say it works fine for them
("all you need to do is ....").
