Error messages while running flatpak update

1

I’m running Linux Tumbleweed Gnome Wayland on an AMD Ryzen laptop. Below is the text of the errors I got today while running flatpak update. I’ve been ignoring these errors but now I have a little time to research them. Should I continue to ignore these errors? Or should I take some action? I’m a Linux noob and command line noob.

Most of the errors here mean that the runtime an specific app uses is old and don’t get support anymore.
The maintainer of the app should make an update which uses the newest runtime. As a user, you don’t need to take action.

The last one though is interesting. It seems like one app you use, Quilter, is no longer developed. So its stuck in that state, with using old runtimes.
In that case, you should look for an alternative.

Cool. Good news. Thanks.

I’ve never used the Quilter app and I have no need to manage markdown files. Should I delete Quilter? Or just leave it be?

I mean, if you don’t use it, you don’t need to have it installed…

Sounds logical. I’ll get it uninstalled.
