[RFE] Support installing Flatpak Add-ons #297

Open AsciiWolf opened 3 years ago

AsciiWolf commented 3 years ago

Many Flatpak apps from Flathub have Add-ons (extensions) available to be installed to extend their functionality. One of these apps is Steam. In GNOME Software they are displayed on the application details page and can be easily installed from there. However, MintInstall does not seem to display them at all (on latest Linux Mint 20.1). And what is even worse, when trying to search these Add-ons, no results are found either.

You can try this yourself by trying to search for "Proton". When running flatpak search proton, these results are found:

It looks like that this was still not implemented. Many Flatpak users use Add-ons (Extensions) to extend functionality of their Flatpak apps. Please, consider supporting it.
