I am currently on Fedora 39 and the only official support for me is Flatpak. Now, when you only support Flatpak, there are some issues i will try to explain:
If I use native Steam, for example (not Flatpak), I cannot use obsvkcapture plugin, therefore cannot stream my games. Now, I can simply use flatpak version of Steam, however, Flatpak also causes issues here. I have a native Linux game for example (Wizarducks and the Lost Hat) but Flatpak Steam breaks the game as the game is in appimage format and flatpak steam cannot open appimages.
Another issue is that mangohud does not work on Flatpak Steam. So I lose another feature because I am forced to use Flatpak Steam, because there is no official OBS support for native app formats.
I know these issues sound minor, but still, I do not understand why you simply do not support native format alongside Flatpak. Is it really that big of a bother to development? Please consider giving it official support as it would make life much easier for everyone and people will thank you for it.
