I installed flatseal but I never understand what is essential and what is not.

    It is mostly trial and error. I use it mostly to set envvars.

    As an example, I add the ~/.themes folder and the GTK_THEME to allow some apps to get the themes I downloaded.

    Oh, so flatpaks cannot automatically get system themes?

    If it is trial and error, is it really useful for a normal user?

    System themes, probably most of them work. But most of them don't bother watching the user themes or icons folder.

    I don't think Flatseal is that useful for the majority of users, no. But it is a good tool to have in mind when the need arises.

    Why do you think it is not useful?

    I replaced Firefox system package with Flatpak because I think browser is the most used and vulnerable thing in my system. And the size seemed reasonable.

    I did not replace Thunderbird because its size is almost 10 times.
