Next, we'll add the Flathub repository, which hosts a wide variety of Flatpak applications:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

3. Install OpenTTD

Now, let's install OpenTTD using Flatpak:

sudo flatpak install flathub org.openttd.OpenTTD

After running these commands, it's recommended to restart your computer to ensure all changes take effect properly.

Launching OpenTTD
