From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What’s happening here is that you only have a system-wide remote configured, but you’re trying to install as user. Flatpak keeps two separate sets of remotes:
System remotes (available to all users)
User remotes (only for the logged-in user)
Since you have no user remotes defined, Flatpak can’t find anything when you do --user.
You need to add Flathub as a user remote. Run:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepothanks. I read that command somewhere but thought I had to edit it to name specifically my username.
