I tried to install programs from flatpak (via software manager in mint), but every program I installed open as superuser. check the screenshot below.
Why is that?. As far as I know, filezilla don't need root permissions to work. All the other programs from flatpak like vcode, atom, vlc are the same.
why all programs from flatpak open as superuser?
