So, it’s been some time since I’ve been having this issue but I’m not so sure on how to fix it because I’m not a super tech savvy person when it comes to Linux troubleshooting. Every time, when the moment comes, that I need to update my flatpak packages, this messages pop up in my terminal:

Looking for updates…

    You could check which flatpak apps depend on the old GNOME runtimes with flatpak list --app --app-runtime=org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.34 and flatpak list --app --app-runtime=org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.32

        Does it show anything when you try to remove unused flatpaks? flatpak uninstall --unused

            I don’t even have installed a lot of that stuff, actually, I’m pretty sure I uninstalled them a while ago.

              Ah, okay. So you could remove them all if you no longer need them (or individually if you need some of them). I’m not sure why that happens sometimes, but org.gnome.Platform and the others are dependencies no longer used and still remain installed.
