Flatpak Backend

Flatpak Backend

Flatpak provides sandboxed desktop applications. TinyPM wraps Flatpak to give you a consistent interface.

Important: Flatpak Requires Full App ID

Unlike native packages and Snap, Flatpak requires the full application ID format (e.g., org.gimp.GIMP).

Flag

Use -f to target Flatpak.

Common Operations

tinypm search -f gimp
tinypm search -f firefox

Finding Flatpak App IDs

To find the correct app ID:

tinypm search -f <name>        # Search for app
tinypm discover                # Browse curated packages

Or visit [flathub.org](https://flathub.org) to browse available Flatpaks.

#### Update

supdate -f

Package Names

Flatpak packages use reverse-DNS naming (e.g. org.gimp.GIMP). You need the full application ID for install, remove, and run commands. Use search to find the correct ID.

Requirements

• Flatpak must be installed on your system
• At least one remote (e.g. Flathub) should be configured
• Run tinypm doctor to verify Flatpak is working
