From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you install your flatpak apps per-user or system-wide ? https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-users/user-vs-system-install
I have installed flatpack apps for per-user, and there are runtimes and apps in my home folder
And I just tried to run the flatpack update using sudo and it worked, I didn't know that flatpack can be used with root rights
Good. Next time you want to give a flatpak app more permissions consider using Flatseal : https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
I already use flatseal, I needed it to make bottles see some folders not only downloads
