- Old AMD drivers are not supported.
- The same applies to the less known ones, such as these for VIA/S3G/Zhaoxin GPUs.
- Old Flatpak had a problem with multi-GPU setups. If I good remember, it was fixed in 1.3. However, most Linux distribution still have Flatpak 1.0 or 1.2, and 1.3 isn't even a stable release.
- To keep GPU drivers working, runtime extensions have to be constantly updated. The problem is that flatpak runtimes have a very short life. Freedesktop 1.4 (2015) was abandoned a long time ago. Freedesktop 1.6 (2017) is barely supported. If you are serious game developer, Flatpak is not solution for you. You should rather choose Steam, and then users could use Steam client from Flathub if they want to.
