Why on Flathub it says that it “uses legacy windowing system”, but there is granted permission to use Wayland socket in manifest?

Probably because there’s also permission to use the X11 socket.

No, its certainly not because of that.

Many apps have both permissions simultaneously and theres no warning. In this case X11 is used as a fallback if wayland is not used.

It prefers X11, and Wayland can be enabled through the ozone layer.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
