 **Flatpak** is a type of [[tools:package manager]] that bundles the application and all of its dependencies inside a [[tactics:compartmentalize#software containers|container]]. In the Linux world, some //(only some)// applications are gonna be better off deployed with Flatpak instead of the OS's built in package manager. Some distros now come with Flatpak preinstalled. You can even use a [[tools:bash:customization#aliases|bash alias]] to have both your system updates and Flatpak updates go off with a single update command.
-To install Flatpak, go the [[https://flatpak.org/setup/|Quick Setup page on Flatpak.org]], pick your distro, and follow the instructions. You can skip all the pointless GUI plugins for GNOME/Plasma/etc as they will only add bloat. You can very quickly manage all of your Flatpak apps with just a handful of [[tools:bash|terminal commands]], which we will explain next.
