There is a misunderstanding. I've never asked to add/support Flathub repo in
OpenSUSE. Neither Fedora includes Flathub repo out of the box and it never will
for the same reasons as OpenSUSE.

I merely pointed to the broken user experience of flatpakrepo files in OpenSUSE
and gave an example of how it is supposed to work - entirely with GUI tools
(KDE Discover/GNOME Software) without installing any missing dependencies via a
command line. This workflow works also in Debian/Ubuntu
(gnome-software-plugin-flatpak depends on flatpak) or Arch Linux
(gnome-software depends on flatpak).

I just think it doesn't make sense that I can add flatpakrepo with GNOME
Software, install a flatpak app with GNOME software, but I cannot launch it
unless I open a terminal and install flatpak from the command-line. But let's
agree to disagree. Thank you for keeping this ticket open for other opinions.
