| io.github.giantpinkrobots.flatsweep "Fast, simple, and does what it claims to do -- locate and remove any leftover flatpak data directories for apps that were once installed. This won't likely save much space, but it's a nice step and well-executed. " |

| com.github.tchx84.Flatseal "Install this now. You need this critical permission manager if you plan to use any flatpaks, and you should be using flatpaks because they're more secure and usually more up to date. " |

| net.lutris.Lutris "Get this version. Flatpak release is up to date and far less buggy, and you probably want to run those Windows apps in a container in case of bugs. Only problem is you will need Flatseal to manage the folder permissions, and you may need to correct paths in your app configurations to resolve weird wine errors because wine doesn't always play nice with the XDG portal system. " |

| lutris "DO NOT USE! Outdated and buggy. You will run into a game you need a newer release to fix, and you'll have to reinstall all your games. Save time now and get the flatpak. You want the flatpak version." |

| org.videolan.VLC "Works great, less buggy than the system version and gets updates regularly. Don't forget to use Flatseal to restrict file permissions or revoke network access to bolt down security if you wish. " |

| com.spotify.Client "Works perfectly, definitely prefer to the wide-ranging permissions of a system install. " |

| org.keepassxc.KeePassXC "You want this version. There were graphical glitches in the system version for me on Mint 21.3. Flatpak gets it running perfectly. Don't worry too much about install size because remember flatpaks share redundant dependencies, so if you are using multiple paks, it doesn't actually need that much storage independently. I suggest Flatseal to revoke network access for this app. " |

| org.mozilla.firefox "Exactly like your system Firefox, except running in a sandbox with tight permissions. Truely a stellar flatpak and officially maintained. I'm using it right now to leave this review. " |

| com.sindresorhus.Caprine "Works, but if you look at the GitHub there are issues. It's kinda sorta maintained, but don't expect to do any calling. However, it's more than suitable if you need a basic desktop client for Messenger. " |
