I'm new to flatpak and bottles. I've a Chromebook and a Ubuntu NUC with KVM VMs and LXC container for other things on both. I thought I'd learn about bottles.

So I now know that programs and list are two sub commands. I have not yet learned of their differentiation. I am guessing one of the two is for local already-installed bottles and the other is for remote you-could-install-this possibilities.
Describe the solution you'd like
Bottles-cli would be even better if-h functionality would say a little more about the purpose of the sub command.
