How the hell would my paths affect what's in the bin folder?  Like, the
flatpak binary is literally not present in the profile, that's why it's
not showing up in $PATH.
Well, I'll check next time I'm on that machine, right now I'm writing
from the netbook and I'm in a bit of a hurry and don't want to wait for
derivation computations.
But I'm like 99% sure it's not due to my paths, because all other emacs
packages work.
