I’ve freshly installed Fedora Silverblue and am attempting to enable flathub by following the instructions on Fedora Flathub Setup:

Flatpak is installed by default on Fedora Workstation, Fedora Silverblue, and Fedora Kinoite. To get started, all you need to do is enable Flathub, which is the best way to get Flatpak apps. Flathub is pre-configured as a part of the Third-Party Repositories. Alternatively, you can download and install the Flathub repository file.

Now all you have to do is install apps!

The above links should work on the default GNOME and KDE Fedora installations, but if they fail for some reason you can manually add the Flathub remote by running:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

The problem that I’m having is after I issue flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo and then I issue flatpak remotes it says:

Name   Options
fedora system,oci

I am expecting another line under fedora listing flathub, but it still just lists fedora.

What am I doing wrong? Is there some other step I have to do before I follow these instructions?

I believe I could easily enable flathub through the Software Manager app, but since I tend to distro hop, I’d like to do this through the command line so that I can start building a library of scripts to get up and running as effortlessly as possible after a fresh install.

Thanks!
