Note specific to Flatpak:

The application is sandboxed. It includes bundled <code>kubectl</code> and <code>helm</code> commands and uses <code>~/.kube/config</code> file by default.

Flatpak adds wrapper for the <code>aws</code>, <code>doctl</code>, <code>gke-gcloud-auth-plugin</code> and <code>kubelogin</code> tools and runs them as a commands from the host system.

The terminal uses <code>/bin/sh</code> by default, but it can be switched to, for example, <code>/bin/bash</code> for sandboxed environment or <code>/app/bin/host-spawn</code> for a host environment.

You can use <code>flatpak-override</code> to give access to the filesystem f.e. if you're missing <code>.minikube</code> certificates. <code>flatpak override --user --filesystem=~/.minikube app.freelens.Freelens</code>.
