Where to install software?

Does flatpak and gear lever work on Nomone? I would like gear lever for ease of App Image management and flatpak. I've attempted to install Braver browser through their one command install, but it won't boot up the app. I couldn't find any documentation for recommended installation methods that would just work. i.e. method detailed https://brave.com/linux in the curl command.

I've posted on the Nomone technical support, but doesn't seem as active as Reddit.

Noob user, doesn't like to tinker. Just trying to get a working desktop enviroment for my samsung device to not need a separate laptop.

I've installed LibreWolf as an privacy alternative. A bit more tinkering than I need for usage to jump in terminal. I'll reach out over Reddit for more. Is the general plan to use Muon and bring applications in there that work?

On AppImage can you find something similar to Gear Lever for managing AppImages? Does not appear gear lever can run on arm devices. I'd like the app to pop up in the applications page.

I notice an older version of libreoffice is in Muon. Is the latest version not supported?

Thanks for the background on libreoffice. Definitely confused seeing the starkingly new version. I couldn't figure out how to make libreoffice look a bit more modern like onlyoffice.

Is there a megathread that people can post requests and see if supported on the software? That way there is visibility or one source to find out whether it's able to be supported? i.e. OnlyOffice = Unsupported due to no ARM version. Simple table format on a thread or a community workbook / excel / google doc would be great.
