org.chromium.Chromium VS com.visualstudio.code

Seems like it's a buggy wayland fractional scalling implementation... It's reverted in the chromium flatpak https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium/commit/eea7af903decb3a3b9bb6fdacbb55d24a90e18f3

My philosophy has been to let the distro package manager handle system packages (kernel, OpenSSL, etc) but then use flatpak [1] to install user progs like Chromium and VSCode so I get bleeding edge releases and sandboxing.

If it helps I'm using https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.chromium.Chromium along with https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

You can inspect how Chromium is built on Flatpak here: https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium

Oh that doesn't work? Hmm I wonder if you could try the executable listed at https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.chromium.Chromium and put that in your config?

No need to trust anything, unlike snaps, the way they're distributed is public and open source: https://github.com/flathub/org.chromium.Chromium

Would a workaround be installing chromium from flathub, and using that for browsing? https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.chromium.Chromium

vscodium flatpak fonts are already fine; IME vscodium works with font scaling fine out of the box. There's a vscode flatpak issue: "Feature: add optional Wayland support" https://github.com/flathub/com.visualstudio.code/issues/471#...

The VSCode flatpak README has some solutions:

Otherwise, you could install the flatpak version from Flathub and that alias would start doing what it's intended to do: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.visualstudio.code

For VSCode, it looks like you need to do a little bit of work to get it working properly in Flatpak. Everything should work if you put in the elbow grease, but this is one of those examples where Flatpak makes things a bit funky for people unfamiliar with how it works, and it doesn't help that Microsoft doesn't officially support the Flatpak.
