+# Flatpak
+Flatpak is a software utility for package management on [Linux](../../linux/Linux.md) systems. It provides a consistent and secure environment for applications to run across different distributions, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation. Applications are sandboxed with bubblewrap.
+
+## Key Concepts
+### 1. Flatpak Repository
+A Flatpak repository is a collection of applications bundled as Flatpak packages. These repositories can be hosted locally or on the internet. Flatpak relies on repositories to download and install applications.
+
+### 2. Flatpak Package
+A Flatpak package is a compressed archive containing the application, its dependencies, and metadata required for installation. These packages are sandboxed to ensure compatibility and security.
+
+### 3. Flatpak Runtime
+Runtimes are collections of libraries and services that applications can use. Flatpak uses runtimes to ensure that applications have access to the necessary dependencies without conflicting with the host system.
+
+### 4. Flatpak Ref
+A Flatpak ref is a specific version of a runtime or an application. It is identified by a unique hash, allowing multiple versions to coexist on a system.
+
+## Usage
+#refactor 
+```shell
+flatpak install <app> # Install applications
+flatpak update # Update applications
+flatpak uninstall <app> # Remove application
+flatpak list # List installed applications
+flatpak info <app> # Show info on app
+```
