I've got as far as this:

Code: [Select]

$ flatpak install --user flathub org.libretro.RetroArch
error: GPG signatures found, but none are in trusted keyring
..answers on a postcard...

Using gnome-session allows flatpak to run, so it must require dbus to start stuff.

However:

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -i flatpak-gir
$ flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak install --user flathub org.libretro.RetroArch
Required runtime for org.libretro.RetroArch/x86_64/stable (org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/1.6) is not installed, searching...
Found in remote flathub, do you want to install it? [y/n]: y

pivot_root: Invalid argument
..and:

Code: [Select]

$ flatpak run org.libretro.RetroArch
pivot_root: Invalid argument
I don't know enough about this stuff to be sure, but a user found the following with docker:

initrd is loaded into ramdisk which is an actual file system.
initramfs is not a file system.
For initrd pivot_root is used and for initramfs switch_root is used.
You can not use pivot_root on an initramfs rootfs, you will get Invalid Argument. You can only pivot real file systems.
