      I’m not too familiar with how Flatpak works but Emacs benefits from compiling it on your machine natively. Tell me what distro you’re on and I can see if I can find out how you’d do that.

      Following up from my previous comment, there is a Flatpak of Emacs available on Flathub. Here are the instructions for how to install, whilst enabling native compilation, which will offer a performance increase and allow you to use features such as vterm (the best terminal emulator for Emacs).

      A Flatpak of Doom Emacs? No. But you can just install the normal Emacs flatpak and then install Doom Emacs with 2 simple commands:

      git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs

      ~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install

      Emacs will read these config files from the .config/emacs directory. Doom Emacs is not a different version of the program, it’s essentially just a set of configuration files.

          I don’t have a Linux Mint installation right now, but when I used Mint a few months ago this worked for me. The two commands are from the official Doom Emacs install guide. Could you tell me exactly what doesn’t work?

            when i use those commands it assume emacs is installed as a system package and installs to a different location not accessible to the flatpak
