Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.
America is a continent and Americans are people from that continent (Canadians, Usonians, Mexicans, Cubans, Argentinians, Brazilians...)

Well, after some very obscure search over internet, I found something that solves my issue (maybe yours too in case you want to install packages as user).
If you use Lubuntu (I don't know whether it works on other distributions), you have to go to the folder /home/[youruser]/.local/share/flatpak/repo/. There is a file there called config. Open it, and write something like this:
`[core]
repo_version=1
mode=bare-user-only
min-free-space-size=500MB
[remote "flathub"]
gpg-verify=true
gpg-verify-summary=true
url=https://dl.flathub.org/repo/
xa.title=Flathub
`
(By the way where it says true, I set it as false, thinking that was my issue).
Now, when I install OBS Studio as user, it lets me.
PS: if GPG verification is set as true, make sure you downloaded the flathub.gpg file from the repo and copied it to your local folder as flathub.trustedkeys.gpg and flathub-beta.trustedkeys.gpg

Years ago I used to recommend a Fedi platform called Lemmy. However, in 2021 some very disturbing stuff about Lemmy's developers came out which totally changed my mind. Because of this, I did a thread to warn people about Lemmy and then never mentioned them again. Today a mod on this account's old server deleted the 2021 thread, without any explanation but apparently by mistake. If you're looking for the thread, it's on the Internet Archive: ➡️ https://web.archive.org/web/20230603001819/https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379 #Lemmy #HumanRights
