Solution for the issue where Flatpak applications cannot be updated.

If nothing happens when running the flatpak update command,
instead of

flatpak update

use the following command:

flatpak --user update

The same command with verbose error output:

flatpak --user update -v

Find out which Flatpak packages are installed for the current user or for the entire system:

flatpak list --user
flatpak list --system
