Description of the issue

archinstall does not install flathub with KDE, nor a browser. Leaving new users stranded the moment they open the Software Center which complains that flatpak is missing and that it must be installed with pacman.

The word "flatpak" is also hyperlinked on this tab of the Software Center which links to the Archwiki which would be a helpful resource for new users to install something using the command line but it opens the html in Kate (the text editor) due to having no browser to render the webpage.

I think this could strand new users right out the gate instead of letting them install apps from the Software Center right out of the box.

First of all, great issue ticket. It's rare that it's so rich on detail and correct.

I think we'll have to look into the browser thing for sure. Flatpak is a different beast, I don't think we should install it by default but the users must be able to get information on why. So being able to click the link feels like a smart way to go about it.

The KDE profile could maybe get complimented with a "select default browser" option, as making any decision here will be polarizing.

Thanks. One more way for people to find the problem
