Research direction
Start by reading the linked Garry's Mod issue and Flatpak pull request, then reproduce the missing main menu and Chromium components on the reported Ubuntu 23.10, Flatpak 1.14.4, and NVIDIA setup. Done means the x64 game loads its main menu and Chromium components under Flatpak without the reported unprivileged-user-namespace failure.
