Bug ID: 466500
Summary: When adding Flathub from Discover, ask if the user
wants to add it system-wide or not
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 5.27.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When adding Flathub from Discover, ask if the user wants to add the repository
system-wide or for the current user only.
Also, keep showing the button to add Flathub even when it's already enabled
because that way the user can still add another instance of the Flathub repo
(eg. if the system-wide repo is enabled, if you keep the Add Flathub button,
you can also add Flathub to the user and have two Flathub repositories for each
occasion. When installing, you can simply select if you want to install an app
system-wide or for the user with the Sources dropdown menu next to the install
button).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. With no Flatpak repositories enabled, open Discover
2. Go to Settings
3. Click on Add Flathub
OBSERVED RESULT
Discover always adds Flathub system-wide. This is not always desired. For
instance, if you have a separate home partition, installing Flatpak apps for
the user only (flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub
https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo) allows you to keep your programs
on your home partition, that way, if it's on another disk, you get more space
for programs and you can also alleviate space constraints in the system
partition.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ask the user if they want to add the Flathub repository for the user only or
system-wide. Keep the button visible until both types of repositories are
enabled.
