Caveat: This is a Flatpak and not all Linux distros ship with Flatpak. But I'll give it a whirl in my Fedora virtual machine. I've seen many flavors of this type of tool floating about, most of them leveraging Tesseract[0], and I've tried a few of them. It fails badly on grainy / noisy images or where the text is warped or skewed in some way. It will not solve CAPTCHAs for you!

Which distros does flatpak not work on?

Flatpak should work on every distro. However, it may not be included by default, so you need to install flatpak before installing this application.

I'm sure it would work if you built it from source.

...it's a pile of Vala code. What you probably mean is that the author did not make a package for your distribution, and there is no one else who had the time and inspiration to package it. You can be the maintainer you seek.

Not really a Caveat, if it only had an Deb you could argue it doesn't work on non-Ubuntu/Debian, which is far bigger caveat.
