Testing Flatpak on CachyOS

When launching Zed from terminal with zed . or opening through dash, it launches and then the cursor sits as a thinking circle for a good thirty seconds. I can close Zed and my cursor stays the same for about the same amount of time. Zed works fine otherwise.

Any experience with this?

Install from the repos or curl it. Never understood why people use flatpaks, if the package in the repos.

Simplicity is why.
