Flatpak, conocido como xdg-app hasta mayo de 2016, es una utilidad para despliegue, administración de paquetes universales y virtualización de aplicaciones para entornos de escritorio de GNU/Linux. La utilidad proporciona un entorno de aislamiento de procesos llamado Bubblewrap, en el que los usuarios pueden ejecutar aplicaciones aisladas del resto del sistema. Flatpak es una manera de instalar aplicaciones independientes de la distribución o versión de Gnu/Linux. Las aplicaciones que utilizan Flatpak necesitan permiso del usuario para controlar dispositivos de hardware o acceder a los archivos del usuario.
