This page will show you how to install Flatpak packages on Ubuntu and derivatives (based on Ubuntu 16.10).

This is very new, but developers are adding more Flatpak packages everyday. Look here to see the list of apps available : http://flatpak.org/apps.html

Flatpak is a new package format. A Flatpak package can be installed on any Linux distro. That is the stated goal.

Flathub is a build and distribution service for Flatpak applications. Its goal is to act as a central hub for making desktop applications available to users.

For Dog-based OS :

Install latest flatpak :

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak #support 16.04 LTS and above

Add the Flathub repo :

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

Now you have Flathub apps available to download and install on Xenialdog and above.
