I frequently encounter issues. Does someone have a working setup or should I simlpy use distrobox for IDEs?

    If not a permission issue then it’s most likely a PATH issue.

    For example, for Cargo try this:

    flatpak --user override com.vscodium.codium --env=PATH=/app/bin:/usr/bin:/home/$USER/.cargo/bin

    What kind of issues did/do you encounter?

    The VS Code/Codium essentially provide a separate development environment within the flatpak container. All the tools there, and the shell are separate from your actual system. There are some ways to work around this (https://github.com/flathub/com.vscodium.codium/blob/master/README.md). I gave up on the Flatpak and installed a native package. Containers are nice, but they have their limitations.
