Quick Setup instructions for Pop_OS are incorrect #239

Closed isantop closed 4 years ago

isantop commented 4 years ago

As of the Pop_OS 20.04 release, Flathub is setup by default on Pop_OS. No additional setup is required.

For earlier versions, it's recommended to add remotes in --user mode to ensure smooth transition to 20.04 (which uses and adds user-mode remotes by default). Having Flathub added as a system-mode remote means that when a user upgrades to 20.04, they must remove and re-add the remote to allow installation through Pop Shop. This removes any applications the user has installed.

So the command should be: flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

I think this was opened against the incorrect repo, and additionally it looks like most of this has been taken care of by https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak.github.io/commit/a7340e5d54c3476c74ffb2911212d51baf75cd55
