Install, manage & run Flatpak applications on standard user accounts

See original GitHub issue

The best way to run bauh with AppImage is without sudo from a standard user account. This way you install your AppImage applications locally and you can run them from bauh as a standard user (recommended). Everything for Appimage runs now in bauh OK - there is no problem.

I wish that Flatpak in bauh would behave the same way. At this moment you need sudo to install Flatpak (maybe you could run bauh as a standard user by tweaking policykit…). Flatpak applications are therefore installed globally and launched from the bauh GUI under the root user.

It would be nice to have the option to install Flatpak locally under the standard user. It is done by appending the option --user in the CLI. For example: flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.Thunderbird --user At the same time running bauh as a standard user would launch Flatpak applications as a standard user (recommended 😃.
