Note, KeePassXC password manager is in the tray. It requires initial password "woofwoof", which must of course be changed.

Some people have experienced a problem with Flapi, the Flatpak Installer, see here:

...read down to page 4, a fix is suggested. In QuickSetup, available via the "Setup" menu category, you can choose to sync time over the Internet. QuickSetup also runs at a pristine first bootup.

I don't know why setting the time from the Internet makes any difference, but anyway, might be a good idea, when the QuickSetup window appears at first bootup, tick the checkbox to sync time from the Internet.

If you have any insight to why some people are getting an "unacceptable TLS certificate" for Flathub, your input is most welcome -- at the above discussion thread.

Any other feedback is welcome at this thread in the forum:

Have fun!
