I use flatpaks extensively and they are not any slower. Bigger packages due to the bundled dependencies but not slower
Gotcha. I thought I had heard people complain snap and flatpaks take longer to launch.
I don't use them a lot as I pretty much pull things from the AUR. I do have one system that is still on Linux Mint that I was thinking about loading Flatpaks for some of my missing programs.

Nice to see this game out there again. The price made my go play my PS2 version on PC. It is fun to play this game again. Probably going to have to play the sequel and Champions of Norrath games next.
