Bazzite/any immutable distro question: every user duplicates app installs
Bazzite/any immutable distro question: every user duplicates app installs
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.

You can get into the weeds and make your own Bazzite! https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template

Just making sure: Did you check if the second user actually doesn't have access to the installed apps? Cause that prompt appears everytime you log-in.

It's a flatpak (and snap and appimage) thing; you only install it for a user by default, not for the whole system.
