      Never heard of installing nvidia drivers through flatpak, or are you referring to something else

        Flatpak cannot access the host GPU drivers, so there are runtimes for NVIDIA drivers.

        What they are referring to is that the driver version on the host must match the driver version installed as a flatpak runtime. Otherwise, you may get graphical issues and crashes.

          Yes that. I had a hell of a time trying to play some steam games until I figured this out. I just bought a laptop with a radeon GPU because, I didn’t have time for this nonsense.
