Thanks for this. On Fedora 31 I have a ~/.var directory, containing only ~/.var/app with a directory for each flatpak. Most of mine 2-16 MB, but com.valvesoftware.Steam is 2GB.

https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/Filesystem says "each application sandbox gets a per-app data directory mounted which persists over app upgrades." Mostly these directories contain cache and config directories. I've never intentionally modified them.
So I think add to the # directories, probably not worth a backup # section of rsync-homedir-excludes.txt :

## Flatpak applications' data, mostly cache and config
#/.var/app

we added most cache and temp dirs in https://github.com/rubo77/rsync-homedir-excludes/pull/43/files

do you think we should add more?
