Ick. I want to see the OS and apps updated on a regular basis, by default, no user intervention. Just do it. I've tacitly given permission for this by installing Fedora already. It should be one of its responsibilities. Like cleaning up /var/tmp. Especially flatpak applications - just update them. They can be rolled back if they break something. As for where to install, whether admin user or non-admin, I think the app needs to go outside of /home. Find another way to additionally embargo "user" apps behind the scenes, but storing them on /home I think is consuming the wrong resource. Android phone, I can install an application and not be asked to authenticate anything beyond the lock screen. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
