Flatpak serves as a software deployment and package management system on Linux, streamlining application distribution and execution. It creates self-contained containers bundling applications and their dependencies, ensuring they run seamlessly across various Linux distributions without affecting the host system.

Installing Flatpak is straightforward. Execute the provided commands from Flathub or utilize the flatpakref file for installation:
flatpak install appimage.flatpackref
To uninstall Flatpak, identification of the application's ID is necessary. Use the command flatpak list
to display all installed flatpaks along with their respective application IDs. Then, execute:
flatpak uninstall org.example.Application
This approach ensures proper removal of the specified Flatpak application.
