Conflicting Nvidia Packages

So far I'm not noticing any issues, but I was wondering if this could
end up being a potential problem.

I recently added a PPA to give me newer Nvidia drivers (on Linux Mint
19 XFCE). Starting with version 390.48, I upgraded to 390.67 then
396.24; all installed with no issues. I always update Flatpak at the
same time as the main system.

Now, here's the results of 'flatpak list| grep nvidia':

org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-390-48/x86_64/1.4	system,runt
ime
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-390-67/x86_64/1.4	system,runt
ime
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-390-48/x86_64/1.4	system,ru
ntime
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-390-67/x86_64/1.4	system,ru
ntime

'flatpak remote-ls flathub | grep nvidia-399' shows the runtime for the
drivers I'm currently running:

org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-396-24
org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-396-24

Should I install these runtimes? When I upgraded to 390.67 that runtime
was installed automatically.
