Native as in how Flatpaks are a universal package format while AUR is Arch-specific. There are some occasional quirks in some Flatpak apps. For instance, Flatpak Localsend does not detect the system accent colour, while the AUR version does. It’s not a problem for most apps though.

Yeah Flatpak applications need access to some portal or something I guess in order to gain access to stuff.

Meh, I like it. I use it for stuff I don’t necessarily trust, like Slack, Discord (which hasn’t been launched for a while now…), Steam (higher trust in that than the others though), etc. Non-free stuff. 🙂
