Sublimetext not in my path

#1

I installed sublime-text from a flatpak by using the Pop! Shop (linux OS app store) and subl was not to be found in my path. Is this expected behaviour? I had a really hard time finding the install location for it and finally gave up.

com.sublimetext.three.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Sublime Text
GenericName=Text Editor
Comment=Sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=subl --file-forwarding com.sublimetext.three @@ %F @@
Terminal=false
MimeType=text/plain;
Icon=com.sublimetext.three
Categories=TextEditor;Development;
StartupNotify=true
Actions=Window;Document;
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.24
X-Flatpak=com.sublimetext.three

Anyway I simply uninstalled it and reinstalled using apt because this is much more reliable in terms of how I expect things to behave. Screw you, flatpak!

We don’t package using flatpak or snap. You’ll need to bring this up with whoever is packaging the flatpak.
