   Dear @element, are you aware of anything recent that would cause the Flatpak to constantly crash? This is painful...

     @AdamBishop @element Well, um… I have no good reason not to! Just used to grabbing everything via Flatpak lately. I’ll give it a go.

     @killyourfm @element

     Why not use the .deb from the official site?

     Might be wrong, but I don't think the Flatpak has been packaged by Element.

     There's a Snap too.

     But I think the .deb is the officially sanctioned package. Has been working flawlessly for me.

     I don't know whether you are on Wayland though... Seems there's only preliminary support for Wayland.

     @AdamBishop @element that’s welcome advice. And a situation I should be more aware of since Thunderbird falls under that community packaging situation (though not for much longer)

     @killyourfm @element Of course not all, but many big name Flatpaks are packaged and maintained (or sometimes not so maintained) by the community, and not directly packaged by the developer. I even tried to package a few apps myself, but made a few mistakes in my .yaml! I think it is wise in general to check directly on the developer's website, and first install the way they would suggest if possible.

     @frigidcode @element Then this is the way forward. Thank you!

     @killyourfm @element I was having issues with the Flatpak element application crashing. Element doesn't control the Flatpak version and once I switched to the official release (deb), all my issues went away.
