Flatpak profile config compatibility with the aur profile compatibility
Hi - I wanted to migrate all my changes made in the flatpak app to the aur version. I noticed the profile content has a different structure in both - aur and flatpak configs. And any attempts to replace profile content with the other resulted in browser ignoring these and initing new config files. Was wondering if my config can be ported over or thats not possible thanks.

To ensure compatibility between Flatpak and AUR profiles, you need to bridge the gap between Flatpak's sandboxing and the system resources used by AUR packages.
1. **Shared Directories and Runtime Support**: Flatpak apps are sandboxed but can be granted access to system directories (e.g., `/usr`) using the `flatpak override` command:
```bash flatpak override --user --filesystem=/usr/local my.flatpak.app ```
2. Environment Variables: If AUR packages rely on specific environment variables, you can propagate these to Flatpak apps with:
bash flatpak override --env=MY_VAR=value my.flatpak.app ```
3. Manual Integration: For deeper compatibility, you may need to modify Flatpak manifests or manually include AUR dependencies in custom Flatpak builds. 4. Simultaneous Use: Both can be used side-by-side, with Flatpak apps handling the main application and AUR packages providing system-level tools.
With these strategies, you can ensure seamless interaction between Flatpak and AUR profiles on your system.
