Kudos to the Kubuntu team! I upgraded this afternoon to Kubuntu 23.04 from 22.10 and the upgrade was smooth and boringly uneventful - the way it should be! I had Flatpaks enabled since installing 22.10 and after the upgrade, I still had Flatpaks enabled. No problems there for sure.
I had two Flatpaks installed before the upgrade including KWeather and Telegram. ( Here's information on the KWeather application https://apps.kde.org/kweather/ )
Interestingly, even though I had Flatpaks enabled before the upgrade and they were still enabled after the installation, both the Telegram Flatpak and KWeather Flatpak completely disappeared. Even the taskbar icon was missing - the launcher was there but there was no program to launch.
Since Flatpaks were still enabled I just downloaded the programs via Discover and all was fine afterwards.
I mention this as For Your Information - not sure how to file this as a bug report since I didn't capture all the specifics at the time and the fix was not even 1 minute to download the respective programs.
So, it seems like a very minor bug.
Again, the upgrade was fantastic.
When I went down the rabbit hole about 3+ years ago to use Linux, my first encounter with Kubuntu was confusing. But over time, I have started to embrace KDE Plasma. There are many fantastic distributions based on Plasma but I really like the elegance of Kubuntu. Primarily I like the stability and not having quirks to wrestle with.
Great job Kubuntu!
