Are These Flatpaks Really Unused or Should I Let Them Stay

Each time I run a “ujust clean-system” I get this information. Some flatpaks are pinned and cannot be removed but some of them are the same flatpak with two different versions. Which makes me think, are they really unused? Can they safely be removed?

I actively use OBS Studio to record footage everyday, I also use MangoHud actively so there is no way these flatpaks are unused. Therefore something’s telling me they are outdated packages and can be safely deleted but just wanted to be sure and ask here.

Thanks for answers in advance.

As my usual impatient self, I unpinned and removed the packages listed there. Guessing they come preinstalled with Bazzite, since they are highly important for gaming purposes. But I also installed them myself (as I was accustomed to,) which rendered the runtime packages pretty much useless.

OBS works as usual, MangoHud and OBS VKcapture plugin as well as VKBasalt also work properly. Guess we can mark this post solved.

OBSVKcapture plugin and VulkanLayer lets you capture games that are running through flatpaks

manguhud is is to let you enable mangohud in Heroic launcher and other flatpaks that support mangohud.

vkBasalt is “reshade” for linux

For some reason they were all overwritten so the “runtime” ones weren’t being used. All of them are still functioning correctly. Can use mangohud overlay in games and VKBasalt is also functioning.

I don’t know how they ended up “unused,” some with two separate version, but oh well, got rid of them and all is good. Thanks for help.
