Some notes:
I installed Opensuse MicroOS Aeon (an immutable linux with a desktop) on my laptop. Because Immutable Linux is a hot thing right now.
Via "Software", I installed SABnzbd, which is the flatpak SABnzbd, from flathub.
... and it just worked.
Amazing.
So thanks to flatpak, no library dependencies. Which the immutable linux would probably not allow to be installed anyway.
To see running ftatpak:
To start sabnzbd automatically on boot (or login?):
Normally the Exec line would end with "--background", but SABnzbd is junk and refusing that.
Note: to install the nano editor:
