My understanding was that the partition, volume or whatever should be recognized by any Linux distribution as a Flatpak installation automatically. This can works smoothly only when the installation contains some identification method. Something in a way "hey, I'm a Flatpak installation!" (your forum post even contains an idea about autodetection at system install time). The only pice of information which I was missing is that you want to use custom Flatpak installation for the trick. That's actually an interesting idea as you don't need to modify the default partitioning of the system - you can keep it and just add one more mount point. Anyway, there are some issues to solve: 1. How to identify a Flatpak installation? We definitely can't rely on the content in the partition / disks / ... Now it contains some directory structure, but that can change later. 2. Where to mount this automatically? As you want to use the custom installation feature, it can be mounted anywhere and every system that wants to use that installation needs to create a mount point and then create some new configuration file under /etc/flatpak/installations.d/ plus filling up some details about it it there. Both looks like something to be decided on openSUSE level or rather even by Flatpak developers. For that, you better open an Issue at their GitHub: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues Some people have already tried to solve similar problem, but they never got that far as having an automatic / semi-automatic support in any installer.
