Once in a while I check the installed packages for a possible dependency on GTK and when I find a program which has one, I look for an alternative to have one dependency less.
The last time I replaced simple-scan with skanlite and it is a much much better scanning program and with a more pleasant ui on top.
I am not using Mint and it is also in the Fedora repos, but there is no reason for it to not be on Flathub. Maybe when I find the time I try to package it.

For some reason it is not yet on Flathub
Assuming you are using Mint, Skanlite can be found in the software manager.

Honestly, for me, if it’s available from my OS’s repos and not horribly out of date, I use that one.
I’d rather have my app just work, not consume twice the resources and actually listen to my theme (inc the mouse, somehow)
