I recently swapped my hdd with an ssd and performed a fresh install of fedora, When I went to reinstall my flatpak application it is requiring me to install gigabytes worth of dependencies and libraries, I am in a Data crunch and I still have the old files; is it possible to just copy the dependencies over and which files am i supposed to copy? (Old installation was also fedora with same username and passwd)
It’s not a security issue given your old system wasn’t compromised. I don’t know enough about how flatpak tracks whether a runtime is already downloaded. If copying works, please come back and comment that it works.
If you’ve used flatpak --user, apps and runtimes are also in ~/.local/lib/flatpak that need to be copied.
