<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>:
</para>
<programlisting>
services.flatpak.enable = true;
</programlisting>
<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>:
</para>
<programlisting>
xdg.portal.extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ];
</programlisting>
<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:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
$ flatpak update
</programlisting>
<para>
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:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ flatpak search bustle
$ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Bustle
$ flatpak run org.freedesktop.Bustle
</programlisting>
<para>
Again, GNOME Software offers graphical interface for these tasks.
</para>
