    Im new to Linux and went with Mint. What is flathub? From the name it sounds like an app store or something

    Edit: Nevermind. I clicked the link and saw. I was right its an app store

      It’s an app store made for distributing Flatpak applications (desktop apps that work on every distro where Flatpak is installed, most distros install flatpak by default now). Flatpaks also allow isolation between apps and a fine permission system like you get on a smartphone (check out Flatseal for that)

          I never looked into flatseal and I don’t have any issues with Steam. But I wonder if flatseal can allow a Flatpak Java application to run systemctl poweroff.

      Same, I’m using MX Linux with native .deb and never ever installed a flatpak, so I have no clue what it is
