Flatpak & Flathub

Flatpak is enabled by default on Abora OS. Install applications from Flathub with ease.

Flatpak is Pre-Configured

No setup needed! Abora includes Flatpak and adds Flathub automatically on first boot. You can start installing apps immediately.

Installing Apps from Flathub

Via GUI: Open your app store and search. Many desktop environments include a graphical app store that supports Flatpak.

Via command line:

flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Nautilus

Replace the full app ID with the one you want to install.

Common Commands

flatpak list --app # List installed apps
flatpak update # Update all flatpaks
flatpak remove org.app.Name # Uninstall an app
flatpak search firefox # Search for an app

Permissions

Flatpak apps run sandboxed for security. You can manage permissions using Flatseal:

flatpak install flathub com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

Flatseal provides a GUI to manage app permissions without editing configuration files.
