ASHPD Demo running on Ubuntu 16.04, showing a notification through XDG portals

According to Door Knocker, almost half of the portals are unavailable on Ubuntu 16.04, compared to only one unavailable on Fedora 39 with GNOME, which means Flatpaks running here may have more limited capabilities than usual.

    Yes and no. It’s much better suited for desktop applications. Try to run something playing audio in Docker. It’s doable but not pleasant in any way.

      Well yeah, I only meant it sounds like a similar idea, I’d be surprised if it was powered by docker.

      It’s certainly doable to run desktop apps in containers, have you tried Distrobox?

        No, I didn’t. Looks interesting. Not something I’m looking for right now but I’ll keep it in mind.
