I’m using approach I saw at [aurtzy/uix-config](https://github.com/aurtzy/guix-config) repo - having whole flatpak as a service.

That way I install flatpak apps only through guix (home), so I’m doing reconfigure anyway.

You can see usage [at my systems/kocour.scm](https://codeberg.org/kepi/dot.files/src/branch/main/guix/modules/kepi/systems/kocour.scm) - but I’m just beginning with Guix, so probably not best one to follow with advices 🙂
