Earlier this month, I shared an update regarding my common software list.

The list includes multiple operating systems, including Linux. I am a long-time Fedora user, but am currently exploring the world of NixOS.

Regardless of the specific Linux distribution, I have always been an advocate for application containerisation, specifically Flatpak.

The list below outlines which applications from my software list are currently available as a Flatpak from Flathub.

Flatpak Availability

A verified Flatpak means that it was published and is maintained by the original developer or a third party approved by the developer (making it official).

Any Flatpak that is not verified does not make it “bad”, but means a third party (unaffiliated with the original developer) has published and is maintaining the application as a Flatpak.

Flathub does review newly published Flatpak applications (providing some assurance), but I would also ensure any non-verified Flatpak has a healthy change log (recent updates) and usage (statistics).

To help with the installation of these applications, I have added the relevant commands below.

Any application that is not available as a Flatpak must be installed via another package manager (e.g., DNF, Nix Package Manager, etc.)
