Flatpak is a good thing for Arm64 ,but may have some problem on CM5

As we know ubuntu on cm5 is using panfork for GPU by patched mesa.
but flatpak has their own mesa without panfork patched.

So some app (like video player or game) install from flatpak can not running with GPU. and Maybe toooo slow.

But for wechat its fine.
