<para>Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.</para>
<para>
To enable Flatpak, add the following to your <filename>configuration.nix</filename>:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-services.flatpak.enable"/> = true;
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
For the sandboxed apps to work correctly, desktop integration portals need to be installed. If you run GNOME, this will be handled automatically for you; in other cases, you will need to add something like the following to your <filename>configuration.nix</filename>:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-services.flatpak.extraPortals"/> = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ];
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Then, you will need to add a repository, for example, <link xlink:href="https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki">Flathub</link>, either using the following commands:
<programlisting>
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak update
</programlisting>
or by opening the <link xlink:href="https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo">repository file</link> in GNOME Software.
</para>
<para>
Finally, you can search and install programs:
<programlisting>
flatpak search bustle
flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Bustle
flatpak run org.freedesktop.Bustle
</programlisting>
Again, GNOME Software offers graphical interface for these tasks.
