This is strange, I installed most of my flatpaks through GNOME Software
and all of them are in
/sysroot/ostree/deploy/fedora-workstation/var/lib/flatpak, which I
suppose looks like --system flag.
OK, lovely, so I'm confused. On my cleanly installed Fedora 31
Workstation system, I'm seeing what you're seeing. Flatpaks installed
via GNOME Software are in /var/lib/flatpak which is consistent with
flatpak --system installation.
So it would seem, GNOME Software defaults to --system, whereas the
flatpak CLI defaults to --user.
Honestly, I'm not sure, it was few years ago. It is possible that
I did
some manual partitioning.
You can post /etc/fstab or show the output from df and it should be
enough info to figure out what the layout is.
I agree, the --system should be default, because most users expect
that
application is available to every user on the machine.
Right. But that must be contingent on /var having enough space so
users aren't stuck fighting free space issues between /home and /.
