suggestion: add instructions for permanently adding an SDK to first_run.txt #6

Thank you for this wrapper, I've used many flatpaks that derive from it and they're all wonderful.

Anyways, in first_run.txt, it gives good instructions for how to find and install more sdks, but only mentions how to enable them at the time that the flatpak is invoked.

I think it would be convenient to also instruct users how to permanently enable an sdk using the command: flatpak overrride @FLATPAK_ID@ --env=FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=node14

There's of course other ways to do this, like altering the .desktop file, creating a custom launch script, etc. but I think this is by far the simplest since it's a command you run once

Sorry for the late response, I've somehow unwatched this repo and missed the issue (along with some others).

This makes sense. Although one should probably use --user option for flatpak override.
