The title says it all. I would like to know what software you have in a flatpak. If you want to include your reasoning, go ahead.
What’s the reasoning behind your question?
Every graphical app of course unless there’s an issue with packaging or any other problem.
I just wanted to know. For example: tumbleweed comes with firefox, do people uninstall it and reinstall it in a flatpak? The question comes from curiosity.
Yes. I removed Firefox and installed the flatpak version because it’s a little more secure.
This is not true. Also this is shepherding to a false definition of security.
I have done that so yes
proprietary software that I don’t trust, or programs that aren’t on zypper
I have pretty much everything in Flatpaks besides system apps. From browser to media players to games to libreoffice, etc

Please add stuff if you have additions
I would say the comment for mullvad browser just to use librefox is dangerous and wrong, the no script from mullvad browser served me well by exporting it to other browsers even to mobile.
The one that causes dependency version conflicts when installed normally
I use flatpak for virtually everything because sandboxing your applications from each other and from your private data is a great idea to improve your system security. This helps prevent one compromised app from taking actions that affect the rest of your system.
For example, I have the VLC flatpak and used flatseal to revoke internet access because I only use it to play files. If a file tries to exploit VLC, it will not be able to upload any data or communicate with the attacker’s servers. I revoke any permissions my apps don’t actually need.
There are a few exceptions though. I run development and administrative tools directly because I do actually want unrestricted access to the system for these apps.
But what if someone attacks a development tool!
I like Bottles. Makes Wine less of a hassle.
Element(Matrix Chat Client) because it’s not in the repos.
DBeaver because it’s not in the repos or obs
Never use flatpaks for stuff available in your packet manager…
Why not aren’t flatpaks safer. I removed firefox on tumbleweed and installed the flatpak because its updated faster.
