Update Flatpak documentation to specify enabling podman.socket for user

See original GitHub issue

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe

Flatpak documentation for running Podman Desktop needs to say that it requires

systemctl --user start podman.socket

in order to run. No modifications to the Flatpak itself need to happen since it seems to pick up the Containers and Images after quitting the application and restarting it.

I was also unable to make the change to the flatpak by doing:

flatpak override --filesystem=/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock io.podman_desktop.PodmanDesktop

I got permissions denied, but Flatseal seemed to do the trick.

Describe the solution you’d like

State that users will need the Podman Socket enabled.

systemctl --user enable podman.socket
systemctl --user start podman.socket

Even when installed as a Flatpak in the user’s space and not as root? Because that didn’t happen.

I’m also on Fedora Silverblue

I can definitely provide you more. I have inxi, neofetch, and can grab anything you need/want.
