@illusionist @henkster Firefox from apt and firefox from flatpak are not equivalent. The former goes through an extra process to remove non-free components.

It looks great but I don’t like it.
You decide that firefox gets installed via apt and not flatpak. Why?
This aims at someone who already has a system and wants to have some reproducible thing for a new system.
Back the fuck up and restore from backup.
This also includes take asnapshot of flatpak apps and simply reinstall all of them on the new system.
Yes, there is a lot of improvement to automatically do all this. But not with another solution. Just use dotfiles. Dotfiles and a cloud sync thing.

Neither do native and flatpak vscode work the same way. It’s about that OP decides it, not the user.
