I believe I solved this problem before, but I can’t find the solution again. I have some Flatpaks installed on my NixOS system, but they aren’t showing up in the app menu. Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?

          I honestly just did nix-env -i flatpak then rebooted, so I’m not sure…

          Edit: Did it the configuration.nix way to make sure everything was in the path, and it works now. Thanks!

            I use a declarative flatpak flake that lets me install flatpaks declaratively. You could use this as well, in case you want to manage the flatpaks in your configuration.

            nix-env should be avoided, it is bad. I wish it were not in the docs so much. If you need a package for a short time, use nix-shell or nix shell.

            Glad you got it working tho.
