It's not the same as a VM or emulator. flatpak: A tool designed by RedHat for running sandboxed Linux programs in any environment. Flatpak can either refer to the system as a whole (eg: "You need to install flatpak on your machine to use our tools") or an individual program packaged for the flatpak system (eg: "You must download the latest flatpak of Firefox"). AUR: The Arch User Repository. A collection of installation scripts to add software to Arch Linux. These scripts are not owned or maintained by anyone officially affiliated with Arch, so you can find AUR packages for almost anything. So, the comment becomes: Stick it in a dedicated environment designed to run Debian. Then package it so anyone can run it. Then make it easy for anyone running Arch Linux to install it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] halva@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago flatpak... is unrelated to redhat, at least at the moment it was initially made as a side project by a person who worked at red hat on containers, nowadays it's developed by freedesktop.org permalink fedilink source parent
