Hitori for example, since it is so tiny, and you might be

able to verify my issue.     I have not yet check in terminal

to see if the version number matches what Gnome Software

is claiming.

According to the project’s web page:

Athenaeum uses flatpak as its packaging system and pulls all data from flathub currently.

GNOME software updates flatpak too, so I’d expect it updates the software you’ve installed via flatpak.  You could test it with the command `flatpak update`. (Or if it’s installed as the user, `flatpak —user update`.
