are you using rofi or rofi-wayland?

rofi from debian repo does not support wayland.. that could be the reason why

hmm, I installed from your script so was assuming, I was using the right one. --- edit Checked now and no rofi debian package installed

Thanks just covering the bases....

I dont use flatpak but when I added discord - flatpak to my debian, it shows the discord ok

As I said on one of my two debian machines it works fine, trying to understand what the difference is .... So far no luck.

So I want to give you update here

I have added this

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

instead of
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Notice the --user

and then when I install something from flathub,

it will give me option wether to install on user or system ...

on my test if I choose user, it wont show on rofi... if I choose system, it will show on rofi...

All my flatpaks where installed as system ....
I have now solved it by adding:
env = XDG_DATA_DIRS,/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share
to ENVariables.conf
