##### Note
Flatpak is a universal package format for all Linux distributions. Packages are isolated from the system, which can have security and stability benefits. For example, you can use the latest QGIS version on a stable distribution.

Flatpaks are installed for all users by default, but can also be installed for a single user only with the `--user` argument.

Only users with `sudo` permission can change systemwide Flatpak apps and repositories, but all users can update them. This can be useful on managed machines.
