I installed `gnome-software-plugin-flatpak`.

I had to download the `flatpakref` file, then double click it via the file manager, which caused GNOME Software to spit assorted errors and claims of something going wrong. I was however presented with an Install button which when clicked prompted for a password and then dumped me back at an Install button.

I then searched GNOME Software for 'Pithos' and it found an entry where the source was flathub. I was able to install it by clicking the Install button.

I doubt what I've described is how the installation flatpaks is intended to work. Can someone confirm the intended experience so we can identify what might not be working correctly in Ubuntu?
