[Feature request]: flatpak.org/setup/: Add: "flatpak remote-modify --subset=floss flathub" #620
Description
Checklist
- I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
- I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.
Suggestion
It would be nice if you would like to add an optional libre section to all https://flatpak.org/setup/ instructions (before the "Restart" section):
Optionally, allow only free software
To disallow nonfree software, run:
flatpak remote-modify --subset=floss flathub
For example, it does not allow you to install https://flathub.org/apps/ru.yandex.Browser for example, because it's listed as Proprietary (see https://flathub.org/apps/search?q=Yandex%20Browser)
However, even free software-only users can forget to run this option, so there's no guarantee that they will install only free software from flatpak. But at least it is a step in the right direction.

Website issues are not bugs in Flatpak-the-piece-of-software; transferring to the project for its website.
Is this a feature that already exists and works, or a feature that you are requesting?

Thanks for the transfer!
It exists, and it's extremely important for free software-only users.
