After experimenting with about 4 different desktop environments, 5 different distros, and a half dozen different combos of Snap/Flatpak/native install of apps... I'm back on Fedora+Gnome and avoiding Snap and Flatpak wherever possible.
I'm surprised at all the weird bugs that popped up from Flatpak+Gnome+Wayland given that it's essentially the Fedora default way to do things.
