Notes about features

Feature Flatpak Snap
Read File ~/Music and ~/Downloads by default. Others require override. Home directories. Removable media by running snap connect tauon:removable-media
Launch External App (e.g. Tag Editor) Unavailable by default. Any host (non-Flatpak) app with permission override. Unavailable.
Open Folder Asks for confirmation each time.
Audio Output PulseAudio only. PulseAudio Only. BASS only working with Ubuntu.
Discord RP Works with Flatpak Discord. With host Discord requires command. Unavailable.

AUR version does not use sandboxing so has all features enabled (provided optional dependencies installed).

Snap Troubleshooting

The cursor theme is weird.
This is a limitation of snap.

The text is all boxes.
Try run:

sudo rm /var/cache/fontconfig/*
rm ~/.cache/fontconfig/*
