Flatpak is a neat little cross-distro package manager
Here’s a quickstart guide
Step 1:
Install flatpak
sudo apt install flatpak
If you use gnome you can also install this add-on so that you can browse flatpak applications in your desktop environment
sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
Next we’ll add the official flatpak repository
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Now we can install firefox
flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox
Step 2:
Now as to how to run firefox, if you are using gnome you can just use the plugin mentioned previously and browse to it, however if you are trying to run it from console flatpak has a way to do that
flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox
That’s it!
