In the single-user system scenario it doesn't matter that flatpaks are installed to $HOME by default, and it's probably preferred given the default Workstation partition layout; but I think it's confusing in the multi-user case, as a default, because those installed apps won't show up for any other user. Not only is there no way to set a default location, in the GUI I can't specify the system location on a case by case basis. Other than working through some partition ninjitsu, what are the drawbacks to putting /var and /home on a separate volume (they would share one), and then changing the flatpak default installation from --user to --system ? -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
