Hello, I have noticed that `quse flatpak` returns gnome-software but when compiled Gnome Software does not show any flatpaks. I already installed Flatpak and added Flathub. Did I do something wrong (perhaps enabling a service) or is this a bug? In case anyone asks, I just compiled gnome software as usual `emerge --ask gnome-extra/gnome-software` I'm new and fragile, please don't hurt me.

Please understand that quse flatpak shows available flags but not necessarily enabled flags.
If you want to enable it, add an entry into a /etc/portage/package.use/ file (with a name that you will remember) like:
Code:
gnome-extra/gnome-software flatpak

Then rebuild gnome-extra/gnome-software

I am terribly sorry for forgetting to mention that. I did create a file called gnome-software under package.use. I have written `gnome-extra/gnome-software -flatpak` in it but I'm assuming I shouldn't write dash before flatpak.

I just recompiled it but still looks the same, I'll just restart my pc and I'll inform you if anything changes. Thank you.

Edit: Yup works like a charm! Thank you. Is there a way to mark as solved or should I just write [Solved] at the start?

There is no dedicated flag for solved threads. Edit your opening post and adjust its subject to add the [Solved] text. I suspect you will need to trim out some of your existing subject text to make room.
