Just installed Bazzite and it seems to work well so far.

Then I added a second standard user to the system and thought they’d have access to all software I just installed for the main user. But that doesn’t seem the case, Bazzite prompted me to install all those again for the second user.

Is that just a thing with immutable distros or did I do this in a wrong way? I tried looking this question up, but I couldn’t find any info on multi user setups with immutable distros.

    It’s a thing with bazzite and most of the Ublue projects, you can install Flatpaks globally, but they default to per user. It’s designed to be a per-user experience as this is the core of Ublue so you would have say a work image and game image etc rather than the traditional big blob of pakages.

      I see, thanks. Then I will lookup how to install some apps globally. Won’t need everything but a base set of apps that all users will need.

          Thanks, but I couldn’t figure out where in Flatseal this would be possible.

          However I managed via the Discover software center, you can actually select to install from flathub or flathub (user), the first option seems to install it for all users.
