The current Software Sources page is not designed to allow you to
reorder sources in arbitrary ways. It would be easy to expose a
switch for the current "prefer flatpak vs. prefer RPM setting," but
that might not be powerful enough for what users actually want, e.g.
it doesn't allow you to prefer Fedora flatpak > Fedora RPM >
Flathub, or Flathub > Fedora RPM > Fedora Flatpak. I think this is
probably a "help welcome" area.
The thing I'd like to see, but which I don't even have any good ideas for
myself: *after* installation, making it easy to know where running
applications come from and where to get help or report problems -- ideally
separately for the app itself and for packaging/distribution -- all without
being obnoxiously in your face during normal operation.
