but possibly take a look at flathub.org and see if the Solitaire game you're trying to install is available as a flatpak. I found instructions on how to enable Flatpak on Fedora.

I'm guessing the reason that sudo didn't work for you is that your user isn't an administrative user. Setting your user as an administrator will depend on the desktop environment you're using (XFCE, KDE Plasma, Gnome, etc.)
