## What it is
Flathub is the central repository for building, hosting, and distributing Flatpak applications on Linux desktop systems. This repository serves as the issue tracker and submission gateway for new app packages published to Flathub.

## Use cases
- install linux apps from a central flatpak repository
- submit a new flatpak application to flathub
- publish my app as a flatpak for linux users
- find a universal package repository for linux desktop apps
- report issues with a flatpak app packaging
- install only verified or floss apps from flathub

## When to choose
- you want to distribute a Linux desktop application to a wide audience via Flatpak
- you need a centralized, sandboxed app source for Linux regardless of distribution
- you are an app author submitting a new Flatpak build for review

## When to avoid
- you need to report bugs in the flathub.org website itself (use flathub-infra/website)
- you distribute server-side or CLI-only software better served by native package managers
- you target non-Linux platforms exclusively

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: package-manager, developer-tools, self-hosted
- domain: developer-tools, operating-systems, self-hosted, cross-platform
- platform: cli
- tags: flatpak, flathub, app-store, linux-desktop, package-repository, app-distribution, sandboxing, linux
