I don’t think they state anywhere that they adhere to semantic versioning.

Please read the warning at the top of their page:
⚠️ The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!
If you don’t like these breaking changes, this might not be the right software for you (for now).

they are extra heavy in disk space
While they use more disk space than most native packages, this point is often exaggerated. Flatpak uses deduplication and shared runtimes if multiple apps use the same runtime.
Common libraries like OpenSSL are usually bundled in runtimes. So if my application uses e.g. org.gnome.Platform
, I don’t have to update my application if there is a fix in a library of that runtime, I just need to update the runtime.
The runtime is also shared by all applications that use this runtime.
The steam flatpak can’t install udev rules. It works if you install a packacke such as steam-devices
on your host system. See https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/wiki#my-controller-isnt-being-detected

What should be shown if there is currently no playback?
Syncthing is one of the best examples of telemetry done well. On first startup, they ask if you agree to enable telemetry, they show the data that will be send and inform users that the collected data can be viewed at https://data.syncthing.net/
Moving something to the trash files folder isn’t the correct way to trash it, since the Trash specification requires storing some metadata for each trash item.
You should use eg.
trash-cli
instead.
