This is not what’s supposed to happen. If an app installed through flatpak is active while it’s receiving an update, then the update is not supposed to affect the running application until it’s closed/restarted.

The thread is about snap and why it’s worse than flatpak.
And also the fact that the store backend is proprietary
Mostly start up time for me. It just takes the programs longer to launch.
