Issue description

According to https://wiki.batocera.org/systems:steam, in order to install Steam on 41-stable, I only have to flatpak install it. After batocera 32, the remote should already be added. However, as you can see below in my command log, I had to add the remote first.

I propose to add the remote back again in the next release, and perhaps to update the wiki to reflect the state of 41-stable.

[root@nuc /userdata/system]# batocera-flatpak-update

Note that the directory

is not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your desktop until the
session is restarted.
