My recent flatpak issue on zorin os 18 and how i fixed it

I recently had an issue where flatpak was unable to successfully check for updates, leaving the GNOME Software app hanging.
The best way to fix this issue, from my experience, is to completely remove flatpak:

sudo apt remove --purge flatpak

Then reinstall it:

sudo apt install flatpak

You may need to reboot for the GNOME Software app to function properly again.
