3 months agoFor flathub packages, you could switch to user installs instead of system. Settings, then click the up arrow next to flathub (user) (if it’s configured, otherwise you’d have to add it)
It will prevent multiple users from being able to use the same installation of packages, but if you’re the only user if the machine it doesn’t really matter
Yeah, I don’t think there’s any getting around that. Apt package modify the system, and by nature require elevated permissions.
