The Flatpak runtime that gradio uses is chosen by the maintainers of the
gradio Flatpak app, so only they can solve this. I'd suggest reporting this
at https://github.com/flathub/de.haeckerfelix.gradio/issues

Flatpak automatically installs the runtime that the gradio app asks for
(currently org.gnome.Platform version 3.28, although until a few days
ago it was version 3.30). If that runtime isn't suitable, then that's
a bug in the gradio app or a bug in the runtime.
