This worked. Wonder why Discover GUI didnāt work for this? What does -y mean in the flatpak install command. Also whatās the difference between using flatpak command and dnf/rpm-ostree?
Edit:
Well it worked for those two. Trying to download Proton Pass gave me this output in terminal:
Well the terminal tools nearly always have more info. Exception is āappstream metadataā (the screenshots, description and other things you see in Discover".
-y automatically chooses āyesā instead of asking you.
dnf and other package managers are not directly used by GUI stores, instead, packagekit is used, which is an abstraction layer.
rpm-ostree is directly used through the package plasma-discover-rpm-ostree but has reduced features. Not sure if you can install packages now? You should not do that, it is more efficient to install them all in one command.
This is why you run stuff in the terminal if something breaks
