Just installed Bazzite and it seems to work well so far.

Then I added a second standard user to the system and thought they’d have access to all software I just installed for the main user. But that doesn’t seem the case, Bazzite prompted me to install all those again for the second user.

Is that just a thing with immutable distros or did I do this in a wrong way? I tried looking this question up, but I couldn’t find any info on multi user setups with immutable distros.

    This should add the flathub remote to the system and then install all the existing user packages into the system level. Then removes all the user level packages.

    flatpak --system remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
    flatpak --system install $(flatpak list --columns=application)
    flatpak --user remove $(flatpak list --columns=application)
    

    Personally I would just pick all the ones you’d like to be global (system level) and leave the rest at the user level.
