It depends, since flatpaks are sandboxed, they don’t have access to anything by default. The developer can set defaults for what their app is allowed to access and the user can also manually change that. There’s also portals, so you can give them access for a file once (e.g. when opening in a file in an app) or allow them to see your screen and so on. There’s still a lot of things that don’t have portals tho, so flatpaks don’t have access to that.
That’s what I meant with at the beginning. As soon as I started making more profit than losses, it became very easy, which also made it kind of boring.
