I took the advice of a seasoned poster who recommended getting rid of the Non free repository seeing as I was a beginner, not a programmer and was basically not needed at this point. Since then I haven’t noticed a lot of changes. Obviously a lot less of daily updates which is nice but just recently I’ve noticed this and was wondering if the two were connected as this never happened before. Thoughts?

Looking for updates…
Info: (pinned) org.fedoraproject.Platform//f35 is end-of-life, with reason:
Fedora 35 runtime is no longer supported.
Nothing to do.

I am not sure I follow your post properly.
First you comment about getting rid of the Non free repository but do not tell us what that repo was nor why it was suggested that you remove it. Lots of persons have opinions, but not all are applicable to others or their situations.
Was it the rpmfusion-nonfree repo? or something else? The rpmfusion-nonfree repo provides a lot of tools, codecs, packages, etc. that fedora is unable to include but are specifically packaged for compatibility with fedora.
Please post the output of dnf repolist all so we can see what repos you have installed and what are enabled. We can then see the results of your answer above.
The fact you are posting about f35 in the tag and f37 in the topic is also confusing. The flatpak message is self explanatory.
F37 is being released very soon (tomorrow?) and f35 is going EOL almost immediately (30 days later) so flatpaks no longer support the f35 runtime environment. If you were to unpin that runtime then the flatpak updates could be done with newer org.fedoraproject.Platform runtimes and the error would no longer appear.
Jeff V here is the comment from the previous thread with thr command I am talking about, Thanks for your help then and now!
Those are all very standard except for the rpmfusion-free-source repo.
I am not sure why you would have that repo even installed as a beginner. It would only be needed if you were downloading and compiling software for yourself. You might want to disable that repo (semi)permanently with dnf config-manager --disable rpmfusion-free-source. It can be enabled later if you need it.
The release version comes from your system and would be updated to the fedora 36 version when you do the system upgrade.
Thank you for tying this back to your previous post.
You still have the repo noted above enabled, but that is likely not an issue unless you specifically want to download and install source packages. It also is not necessary unless you are wanting to download source packages so could be disabled as previously noted.
The problem you seem to be asking about now is the flatpak issue, and as I noted you could unpin that runtime and the problem will likely disappear with the next update.
man flatpak pin will give you the man page related flatpak pin should list all the runtimes currently pinned flatpak pin --remove <runtime.pattern.name> should unpin the named runtime.
The error you show seems to indicate the runtime at issue is org.fedoraproject.Platform//f35 so you should be able to put that name into the last command above and unpin it so it can be removed. flatpak pin --remove org.fedoraproject.Platform//f35 might do it, but may need to be run with sudo depending upon how that runtime was installed.
Note that the pattern I used came from the error you posted and may not be exactly the same as you will see when you use flatpak pin to display the pinned patterns.
Okay so if i didn’t take down the rpm repo which one did i take down and id that a problem based on my repo post above? Ill try the unpin method above and post results shortly.
Thanks Jeff V those commands worked perfectly, so I tried to run flathpak update and now heres my result its still wanting to install/update f35for some reason how can I fix this? Thanks for your help learning a lot in these threads.
