   Got'cha... There is to much other things in a day that need to get   
   accomplished, which is why I moved from Gentoo after a couple years into debian   
   base distros. I mainly use them only for servers, but recently purchased a mini   
   pc and setup PopOS.   
      
   PopOS as some may know is building their new cosmic desktop so they are lagging   
   behind in some areas. But I'm still getting updated packages via flatpak,   
   including Amiberry which required different dependencies if installing as a   
   .deb. This is where flatpak is nice, grant you I have some other issues in   
   terms of host-run support since it's running in a sandbox.
