AppImage

AppImage (formerly known as klik and PortableLinuxApps) is an open-source format for distributing portable software on Linux. Flatpak and AppImage are Linux installation software, Linux package management-related software and software distribution.

See Flatpak and AppImage

Application binary interface

In computer software, an application binary interface (ABI) is an interface between two binary program modules. Flatpak and application binary interface are operating system technology.

See Flatpak and Application binary interface

Application software

An application program (software application, or application, or app for short) is a computer program designed to carry out a specific task other than one relating to the operation of the computer itself, typically to be used by end-users.

See Flatpak and Application software

Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances and building personal area networks (PANs).

See Flatpak and Bluetooth

C (programming language)

C (pronounced – like the letter c) is a general-purpose programming language.

See Flatpak and C (programming language)

ChromeOS

ChromeOS, sometimes styled as chromeOS and formerly styled as Chrome OS, is a Linux distribution developed and designed by Google.

See Flatpak and ChromeOS

Computer file

In computing, a computer file is a resource for recording data on a computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename.

See Flatpak and Computer file

Computer network

A computer network is a set of computers sharing resources located on or provided by network nodes.

See Flatpak and Computer network

De facto standard

A de facto standard is a custom or convention that is commonly used even though its use is not required.

See Flatpak and De facto standard

Freedesktop.org

freedesktop.org (fd.o), formerly X Desktop Group (XDG), is a project to work on interoperability and shared base technology for free-software desktop environments for the X Window System (X11) and Wayland on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.

See Flatpak and Freedesktop.org

GitHub

GitHub is a developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage and share their code.

See Flatpak and GitHub

GNU Lesser General Public License

The GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) is a free-software license published by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).

See Flatpak and GNU Lesser General Public License

Linux

Linux is both an open-source Unix-like kernel and a generic name for a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Flatpak and Linux are free software programmed in C.

See Flatpak and Linux

Linux distribution

A Linux distribution (often abbreviated as distro) is an operating system made from a software collection that includes the Linux kernel and often a package management system.

See Flatpak and Linux distribution

Linux kernel

The Linux kernel is a free and open source, UNIX-like kernel that is used in many computer systems worldwide. Flatpak and Linux kernel are free software programmed in C.

See Flatpak and Linux kernel

List of software package management systems

This is a list of notable software package management systems, categorized first by package format (binary, source code, hybrid) and then by operating system family. Flatpak and list of software package management systems are software distribution.

See Flatpak and List of software package management systems

OSTree

libostree (previously OSTree) is a system for versioning updates of Linux-based operating systems.

See Flatpak and OSTree

Package manager

A package manager or package-management system is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs for a computer in a consistent manner. Flatpak and package manager are software distribution.

See Flatpak and Package manager

PulseAudio

PulseAudio is a network-capable sound server program distributed via the freedesktop.org project. Flatpak and PulseAudio are free software programmed in C.

See Flatpak and PulseAudio

Sandbox (computer security)

In computer security, a sandbox is a security mechanism for separating running programs, usually in an effort to mitigate system failures and/or software vulnerabilities from spreading.

See Flatpak and Sandbox (computer security)

Snap (software)

Snap is a software packaging and deployment system developed by Canonical for operating systems that use the Linux kernel and the systemd init system. Flatpak and Snap (software) are Linux installation software, Linux package management-related software, operating system technology and software distribution.

See Flatpak and Snap (software)

Software deployment

Software deployment is all of the activities that make a software system available for use. Flatpak and software deployment are software distribution.

See Flatpak and Software deployment

Utility software

Utility software is a program specifically designed to help manage and tune system or application software.

See Flatpak and Utility software

Windows Subsystem for Linux

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Microsoft Windows that allows developers to run a Linux environment without the need for a separate virtual machine or dual booting. Flatpak and Windows Subsystem for Linux are Virtualization software.

See Flatpak and Windows Subsystem for Linux
