MX Package Installer/Flatpak

Hi there.
First off. What a beautiful OS. Thank you.
I have installed MX Linux 21 on a Sony Vaio 32 Bit machine, with Centrino 2 and ATI Radeon Graphics, 4GB ram and 500 GB rom. For the most part, I have not had any issues. Most items are running smoothly.
I'm having an issue with flatpaks in the MX package installer. I have installed flatpack via the stable repo tab. In the terminal the flatpak version is showing as 1.10.7. However, when I go to the flatpak tab within MX PI, nothing loads. I have spent too much time now searching online for a solution, so, here I am
.
Any thoughts or assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

You've got a 64 bit processor, so why are you running the 32 bit version of MX 21?

That's an excellent question.
When I checked the windows system prior to downloading MX, it stated 4 gb ram and 32 bit cpu. I have just checked the specs on the sony website and I am now even more confused.
I took this from Sony

As you have a 64 bit hardware system, you can install both an 32bit OS or 64bit OS.
But this means, if you install a 32 bit system like Windows (32bit), then you only can use 3GB of your 4GB RAM. But if you install a 64bit system (for example Windows 10 64bit), then you can use your full 4 GB.

I'm not sure that there actually are 32 bit flatpaks on flathub.
you can check with
which should list all available packages from flathub

That explains everything. It's embarrassing being a newbie. :-) Apart from a plethora of nvidia flatpaks, there are no other 32 bit flatpaks.
Thank you all! It appears that I will be installing the 64 bit version of MX.
Thank you for your help. You rock!
