From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't know about flatpak. I have a high tolerance for annoyance but configuring flatpak permissions right was annoying.
I just installed it and never changed any permissions. Maybe you confuse it with AppImage?
Some Flatpak apps don’t have the proper permissions or they can be quite restrictive especially when it cames to file access.
For example; it’s not possible to upload files using Discord from the user home (except a few specified folders). This could be solved with a XDG portal, but most apps don’t bother implementing that.
Yeah that is annoying. I get that problem with Cryptomator
