File Icons
I am using Musescore 3.6.2 - installed with Flatpak. When I save a MuseScore file the file appears in the folder but the icon on the file indicates a text file, not a musescore file. When I used MuseScore before installed via a repository, the files had a musescore icon on them.

It is pretty clearly mentioned in the handbook, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/install-linux
