I have tried various flatpak versions of Blink but I have been unable to find one that can
make a call without crashing. I am currently running Fedora 44.
To try to get to the bottom of this I am blindly following online advice. I am aiming to get
debug information. Yes, I am out of my depth. I can't get it to start in debug mode. It
complains about Python 3.11. My Python is 3.14.6. This is probably not relevant. I am
guessing the flatpak brings its own Python. See below.
rdyck at leno:~$ flatpak install --include-sdk --include-debug com.icanblink.blink
Looking for matches…
