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.

It's a thing with bazzite and most of the Ublue projects, you can install Flatpaks globally, but they default to per user. It's designed to be a per-user experience as this is the core of Ublue so you would have say a work image and game image etc rather than the traditional big blob of pakages.
I see, thanks. Then I will lookup how to install some apps globally. Won't need everything but a base set of apps that all users will need.
You can get into the weeds and make your own Bazzite! https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template
Look at the preinstalled program Flatseal. It's specifically for managing flatpak permissions.
Thanks, but I couldn't figure out where in Flatseal this would be possible.
However I managed via the Discover software center, you can actually select to install from flathub or flathub (user), the first option seems to install it for all users.
