Omg. That doesnt sound great. I‘m using discover on my machine and it works seamless.
Flatpak uses polkit for permissions. System level flatpak updates are typically permitted without password by polkit but only for local users. For SSH, most flatpak operations require a password, so it's a mess if you try to run an update on system level flatpaks without
sudo
, which solves OP's problem. They could also move everything to a user level install, which IMO makes more sense for flatpaks than the default system level mode.
