Unfortunately the gnome flatpack settings is a lie. You can only view them, you can't actively modify them. Unless it's changed recently?
I looked into flatseal, and I am incredibly happy with it, it instantly made me feel much better about my digital hygiene. As for GNOME flatpak settings, there are some toggles, but only minimal (notifications, background, etc.)
@[email protected], that has to be one of the most helpful suggestions for an app I've received since I first used Linux. Truly, thank you!
Gnome really needs to start getting on this stuff; I've been disappointed in the way Gnome handles implementing new things and their tendency of going the "#QuirkyGirl" route instead of getting the shit implemented in a cross-distro way like everyone else.
For example the XDG-Desktop-Portal accent color protocol where Gnome devs were actively against it and required a lot of push back from the community.
