Got'cha... There is to much other things in a day that need to get 
accomplished, which is why I moved from Gentoo after a couple years into debian 
base distros. I mainly use them only for servers, but recently purchased a mini 
pc and setup PopOS. 

PopOS as some may know is building their new cosmic desktop so they are lagging 
behind in some areas. But I'm still getting updated packages via flatpak, 
including Amiberry which required different dependencies if installing as a 
..deb. This is where flatpak is nice, grant you I have some other issues in 
terms of host-run support since it's running in a sandbox.
