Is there a list somewhere of what native Linux plugins are available in Flatpack format?

I want to try SteamOS, and you cna only add apps from Flatpack. Reaper is cool as it is already has a flatpack version, just need to look at what else is out there, BEFORE jumping to SteamOS. If there are none or very few I will stick with Pop!OS.

Don't use flatpak for plugins or any audio software. It's not designed for that and you will have problems because it's not made for containers. Reaper flatpak is not official and is just the binary off the site put into a container, with absolutely no benefit whatsoever.
