Is the Racket 8.9 flatpak supposed to take this long to load?
I came across this, could this be playing a role? If it fixes Fedora 37 then it would be a clue and perhaps then the package could enter the string itself? https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/issues/72

Where to file bug reports about "portals" ?
However, the actual dialogs and access points are provided by a backend, which differs from what desktop are you using. For example, Gnome uses xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, KDE uses xdg-desktop-portal-kde and so on.\ If there is an issue with the implementation of an portal, you need to find the backend you use and report it to them.

Web (Epiphany) running in the background
Is the Web search provider enabled in Settings? Those can apparently trigger background detection: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/issues/293

GNOME 41 is out.
you still xdg-desktop-portal-wlr in sway for screen sharing. the purpose of the gtk portal on non-gnome setups is to pass through some gtk settings (e.g. fontconfig, aliasing, gtk theme) to flatpak apps. your gtk flatpak apps won't follow the system theme and fontconfig unless you have the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed. right now it's borked though see below for more details - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72686?project=1&string=xdg-desktop-portal-gtk - https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/issues/360

Why isn't this music player [G4Music] more popular? UI scales beautifully with the window size... Almost reminds me of Groove Music, but better
You can try https://github.com/olegantonyan/mpz/, it doesn't have "traditional" media library, but the filesystem is already a "library" when combined with playlists management, and this is the core idea of the player

Flaptak (and Snap) is not the future
As Linux user and app developer (shameless plug https://github.com/olegantonyan/mpz/) I deliberately avoid snap/flatpak/appimage/etc.
Instead, I suffer with Open Build Service https://build.opensuse.org/. It's kind of cool, free and can build for multiple distros, but making it actually do so is a pain. But I still prefer this over flatpak&co both as user and as developer.
It just doesn't look like "the future of application distribution", https://nixos.org/ does.
