<p>Hi Ulisse,</p>
<p>yes, that was it, thank you!</p>
<p>For my case the solution is simply removing the desktop file of
the Flatpak QGIS:</p>
<p><i>sudo rm
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.qgis.qgis.desktop<br>
sudo update-desktop-database</i></p>
<p>Now my system QGIS is working as intended and I can use the
Flatpak QGIS for testing via<br>
<br>
<i>flatpak run org.qgis.qgis</i></p>
<p>Cheers, Hannes</p>

<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>

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... <br>

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. <br>

<br>
Based on the excellent Flatpak work of Aleix Pol (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis"
moz-do-not-send="true">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"
moz-do-not-send="true">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/" moz-do-not-send="true">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
