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.

Yes,
~/.local/share/flatpakincludes all user installed flatpaks, while/var/lib/flatpakincludes all system wide installed flatpaks. Both include repository information and required runtimes (i.e. dependencies).This does not include user data, which is stored in
~/.var/app.Make sure to test your backup just in case on another system/VM.
Can someone explain why global flatpaks are installed in
/var/liband not/optor/usr/local?Perfect, thank you!!!
What about app data? If I only want to backup my app data for all flatpak application but not the application itself, where can I find the directory?
Based on the above comment, I think you are looking for
~/.var/app.Bruh, I am pretty sure when I commented the question, this information wasn't there.
Is there a way to see previous edits of a comment in fediverse?
Edit: Nvm I didnt read properly
