Installing Flatpak on Debian

[Michael]

A flatpak package is available in Debian Buster and newer. To install it, run the following as root:

sudo apt install flatpak

If you are running GNOME, it is also a good idea to install the Flatpak plugin for GNOME Software. To do this, run:

sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

Flathub is the best place to get Flatpak apps. To enable it, run:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

To complete setup, restart your system. Now all you have to do is install some apps!
