Does anyone know if there are plans underway to allow user-level flatpak installations using GNOME Software?
I recently created a second user account on my main Silverblue workstation for a visiting family member. I assumed the user would be able to install any local apps they needed through the Software store, however Software attempts to install all apps as system-wide, which of course required me to input my own credentials for authentication. This seems counterintuitive to the overall goals of the flatpak platform.
I know we can simply install userspace apps on the command line with --user
, however the family member isn’t as proficient with Linux.
Add the user to the
flatpak
group to avoid needing wheel.Otherwise, use my list of flatpak repos for help.
I keep it updated as I think there is nothing like that.
