<p>Hi Hannes,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>this could be due to the fact that the flatpak .desktop file has
the same "Name". You could solve this by copying both the .desktop
files (flatpak and system-wide) in your user application
directory, for example (local paths may vary):</p>
<p><i>cp /usr/share/applications/org.qgis.qgis.desktop
~/.local/share/applications/</i></p>
<p><i>cp
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.qgis.qgis.desktop
~/.local/share/applications/</i></p>
<p>and change the name of one of the two (Name attribute), for
example setting "QGIS Desktop Flatpak Qt6"</p>
<p>Should be automatically picked up, otherwise you can run</p>
<p><i>update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications</i></p>

<p>I hope this helps!</p>

I meant not another Flatpak QGIS but really the system-wide QGIS
(/usr/bin/qgis). The system QGIS is still available via a terminal
but the Flatpak one has taken over "QGIS" in the GUI (in the
"start" menus, launchers, whatever those are called).
<br>
<br>
Maybe that is just on my system(s) though?
<br>
<br>

It's still called "org.qgis.qgis"...
<br>
Maybe I should call it something like "org.qgis.qgis.next" or
so? "org.qgis.qgis.qt6'?
<br>
Then I think it will not conflict with the normal flatpak
qgis...

Is there a way to make it not mask my system QGIS? After I
installed this on Manjaro or Ubuntu, it took over "QGIS" in
the launcher menu. The only way I could still run my normal
QGIS was via "qgis" in the terminal.
<br>
<br>
I expect this to be some configuration setting of flatpak
itself, but found literally nothing via Google. So maybe it is
something flatpak build specific or my Google fu has broken.

Based on the excellent Flatpak work of Aleix Pol
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis">https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis</a>), I managed to
create a runnable Qt6 build of QGIS for Linux's (with
flatpak available)
<br>
<br>
My idea is that Linux users of distro's without the needed
dependencies can run QGIS and test/update their Python
plugins with this build.
<br>
This flatpak build (master) is (thanks to Aleix!) having 3D
and PDAL/cloudpoint available too.
<br>
<br>
Note that this is my first flatpak build, probably things
go/are wrong, and I'm not sure how to do further/future
distribution...
<br>
<br>
But for now: to run/try it:
<br>
<br>
Download the single-bundle file from
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://duif.net/qgis-qt6.flatpak">http://duif.net/qgis-qt6.flatpak</a>
<br>
<br>
If you do not have flatpak/flathub available, make sure you
do by doing the steps at
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://flatpak.org/setup/">https://flatpak.org/setup/</a> for your distro, to
<br>
1) install flatpak and
<br>
2) make the flathub repo available for needed runtimes and
sdk's.
<br>
<br>
Now go to the qgis-qt6.flatpak file and INSTALL it:
<br>
<br>
flatpak install --runtime --include-sdk qgis-qt6.flatpak
<br>
<br>
(this will install the KDE runtime and sdk and then finally
the qgis-qt6 system wide)
<br>
<br>
Then to run it:
<br>
<br>
flatpak run org.qgis.qgis
<br>
<br>
I hope this is useful for anybody.
<br>
<br>
Have to talk to Aleix for more finesses to maybe share this
on flathub or with his Qt5 build.
<br>
<br>
If you want to build it yourself there is some info in:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis/issues/428">https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis/issues/428</a>
