Flatpak provides a sandbox environment for application building, deployment, distribution, and installation.

Applications that you launch by using Flatpak have minimum access to the host system, which protects the system installation against third-party applications. Flatpak provides application stability regardless of the versions of libraries installed on the host system.

Flatpak applications are distributed from repositories called remotes. Red Hat provides a remote with Red Hat Enterprise Linux applications. Additionally, third-party remotes are available as well. Red Hat does not support applications from third-party remotes.
