Trying to mount a Fuse filesystem inside a flatpak
See example here, this, and also.

How can I use flatpak's ffmpeg on the terminal?
p.s. This is how a real full FFmpeg build looks like. Note the extra dependencies.

[ANN] qpwgraph v0.2.1 released: patchbay feature introduced!
This needs to be on Flathub. I created an initial Flatpak manifest here. You should consider renaming the app id to org.rncbc.qpwgraph, as you already own the domain.

Setting yourself up for success before trying Fedora Silverblue
You most likely can do this via Podman/toolbox. I haven't tried this with Silverblue, my daily driver is Arch Linux, but it's also immutable, so I put the whole libvirt stack in a Docker/Podman image, and I also have virt-manager packaged as a Flatpak. It's very much a WIP, and only rootful, non-privileged, host network namespace is tested and confirmed working. Also be aware that at least with the Fedora image, rootful and privileged broke my host, as I probably need to mask some systemd services/targets in the container.

The issue with flatpak's permissions model
Why not? I'm personally using a couple of TUI apps myself that I packaged. There are a few limitations in Flatpak affecting TUI apps, but if it's a single executable app, then Flatpak package can work great for it.

Can AppImage be converted/wrapped into a Flatpak?
There's no Fuse support in the Flatpak, this needs the setuid bit set and run as root, so the AppImage cannot run in the sandbox. We can extract the AppImage and repackage it as a Flatpak, and I believe that there are more than a couple of Flathub apps that does this. Here's an example.

I'm working on an iTunes alternative for Linux - iCC.
Adding to @Popular-Egg-3746's comment, it should be noted that libimobiledevice's libs & tools can definitely work when packaged in Flatpak, you just need usbmuxd daemon running on the host, and distros like Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite are shipping it pre-installed. I actually packaged ifuse as a Flatpak, and used it a little, see.

Anyone having success with wine-wayland? Tried building and installing a couple times on Arch, and pulled the packages directly and installed, but it doesn't want to fire my app. Tried wineland launcher also but no joy. If you've had success could you post your steps please?
For anything other than games, you need the Collabora fork. I'm building this as Flatpak app, see here. DXVK is not included, as Vulkan wasn't supported in the Wayland branch when I initially packaged Wine. I believe that now Vulkan should work.
