 ## Usage
 
 Most functionality works out of the box, though please note that flatpak runs in an isolated environment and some work is necessary to enable those features.

 ### Execute commands in the host system.
 
 To execute commands on the host system, run inside the sandbox:
 
 `$ flatpak-spawn --host <COMMAND>`
 
+or
+
+`$ host-spawn <COMMAND>`
+
+- Most users seem to report a better experience with `host-spawn`
+
 ### Use host shell in the integrated terminal.
 
 Another option to execute commands is to use your host shell in the integrated terminal instead of the sandbox one.
 
 For that go to `File -> Preferences -> Settings` and find `Terminal > Integrated > Profiles`, then click on `Edit in settings.json` (The important thing here is to open settings.json)
