It'd be nice if there were a direct download + install for flatpak applications. Either licking on the URL in Firefox causes GNOME Software to autolaunch and do whatever needs to be done (find and install runtimes as well as the application); or maybe an included webextension for Firefox that can do the installation. At the moment I'm confused about --system vs --user installation locations. Somehow I have some things that are system and others are user. This is relevant because a system domain installation means it's the rootfs volume that takes the storage hit; where user domain installation means it's the home volume that takes the storage hit. And if runtime and application are split, then backup and restore strategy has to account for this split or it's possible the application ends up "broken" if the runtime is missing. My gut instinct is that the first user created by g-i-s should be an admin (in group wheel) by default. And when a user in group wheel is doing flatpak application installations, that by default they're installed on rootfs not in home, so that they're available for any user. I'm not super inclined to applications being stored in /home/<user>/. A "neat" option would be a flatpak exported file that describes the system's flatpak state (all remotes, runtimes, applications) that can be imported into a clean system, and then ask flatpak to do the restore or whatever other command means "make it go" and then flatpak goes out and downloads and installs those items. Last, I'd rather not have to manage or even be aware of runtimes. Can't the application flatpak define what runtime(s) it prefers in order, and then go out and get them? This especially applies to GNOME Software which shows runtimes separate from the application.
