From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey, sure no problem. I don't actually have a Music folder ordinarily since I keep my music in a network location instead.
Flatseal shows that the app has requested permission to access xdg-music, which in my case is my home directory. I would assume that means it should be able to write there, but maybe the "All user files" toggle being off supercedes that? I'm not sure how flatpak permissions work, exactly.
