Joystick not detected after installing Amiga Emulator fsuae snap package
After installing the Amiga Emulator fsuae via snap, I noticed that the Joystick was not detected. Because snap packages are containerised and isolated from the rest of the system, you need to allow access for the Joystick by viewing the connections list and updating the slot.

How to Install Wine on Linux Mint 21/20
Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It allows users to run many Windows-based programs on Linux without needing to install a Windows operating system. Wine translates Windows system calls into POSIX-compliant system calls, allowing Windows applications to run on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.
In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install and configure Wine on Linux Mint 21 or Linux Mint 20 release series using the command line terminal by importing the official WineHQ repository and installing the latest stable, which is still at this current time, 7.0 or the staging or development releases which are currently featuring 8.0 onwards.

Troubleshooting the Application not found error in Flatpak
The Application not found error may occur in Flatpak on your Linux system for a variety of reasons.

How to add repository using Flatpak
To get started installing software with Flatpak, you will first need to add one or more software repositories. Flatpak uses these repositories (“remotes” in Flatpak terms) to search for and install software from centralized locations. This behavior should seem familiar to Linux users, as it is exactly how traditional package managers work as well.
Developers can create their own Flatpak repos to allow access to their software across all major Linux distros, since Flatpak is distribution independent. You may find yourself in need of adding a Flatpak repo in order to gain access to software not available in your default system repositories, or to subscribe to application download and updates from a particular developer that has chosen to release their software through Flatpak.
In this tutorial, we will take you through the step by step instructions to add a repository to Flatpak on a Linux system. Then, we will show how to search the newly configured repository for software that can be installed.

How to remove repository using Flatpak
Flatpak uses remote repositories (usually just called “remotes”) in order to search for and download software. If at any point you decide that you no longer wish to download applications that come from a particular repository, you can always remove it from Flatpak. This will prevent Flatpak from querying the specified repo for future software searches and updates.
It is recommended to only keep Flatpak remotes that you plan to use. Otherwise, your Flatpak configuration can get convoluted with metadata and other irrelevant settings and files that you will not need. The only caveat to keep in mind is that applications which were installed from a removed remote will no longer receive updates, unless it is possible to receive those updates from a different repository that you have added to Flatpak. Previous apps that have been installed from the removed repo will not be uninstalled from your system.

How to install Flatpak on CentOS
Flatpak is a package manager that is available for installation on CentOS Linux and all other major Linux distros. Flatpak offers CentOS users an alternative to the official repos and default dnf package manager as a source of software installation. Many applications available in Flatpak currently do not reside in official CentOS repos, making this a big benefit of installing Flatpak.
To use Flatpak on CentOS, we simply need to install the program, add the repos that contain the flatpak packages you wish to install, and then search for and install the packages. Flatpak will also let us manage and update the apps that we install. Flatpak works the same across all Linux distros, so you will only need to learn the command syntax once. The applications in Flatpak are also distribution independent.
In this tutorial, you will see how to install Flatpak package manager on CentOS Linux. Then, we will take you through some basic usage of Flatpak so you can get started with adding repositories and installing custom software of your choice.
