What is Flatpak?
Distributing applications on Linux can be a pain: there are multiple versions of different distributions, each with its own library versions and packaging formats. Flatpak was created to change all that. It allows the same application to be installed across different Linux distributions, including different versions. It was designed with security in mind from the start, so applications are isolated from each other and from the host system.
Features:
• Quickly and easily search for or install applications using https://flathub.org
• Access newer versions of applications. Flatpak is widely popular among Linux users and developers who want the latest versions of apps or prefer an optional package manager with a built-in sandbox environment, all while maintaining security control.
• Deliver updates directly to users. Flatpak enables app developers to push updates straight to users without going through distributions or having to package and test apps separately for each one. [9]
