We should acknowledge that this will perform an interactive login on first use, and potentially trust settings if not owned by the current user (or the current becomes logs out e.g. due to token expiration).

Per sync convo, we should make the -r flow primary, and we can do something like add a breadcrumb to docs on -d environments or add a footnote about local only environments

To me that makes it sound like other machines should run flox init --remote

Ill mention activate as primary reason

I still find that confusing. Hypothetically if someone ran flox init -r, it would get linked to an environment that already exists. But a user shouldn't do that, so I don't understand why we'd mention it. Am I misunderstanding?

Should we replace this with a code block that has flox activate -r to use it on another machine?

FloxHub environments have become more performant enough to recommend them as "default" environments.
This commit establishes them as an alternative to local only environments in the "Default Env" guide.
Currently, the "Flox as Homebrew laternative" guide still uses language of "local only" default envs, it leans heavily on output of the current auto onboarding, that has yet to be adapted to FloxHub environemnts (flox/flox#3867).
