Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I already have a lot of GiBs of LLMs downloaded on my PC. My connection is metered & slow, storage is limited as well.

I can't afford downloading hundreds of GiBs of data again. It will be slow, expensive & polluting.

Describe the solution you'd like

Hi, I don't think I'll be making the download directory modifiable, I prefer it to stay inside the Flatpak directory. For now what you can do if you want to migrate an existing ollama instance to alpaca is this

Could be better for UX to add a note somewhere in preferences or list of models about current location for models being ~/.var/app/com.jeffser.Alpaca/data/.ollama

@Jeffser another solution idea: what if you add a method of symlinking or hardlinking of models from any user defined directory to ~/.var/app/com.jeffser.Alpaca/data/.ollama?
