    Flatpak: a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.

    Flatpak application: an application installed via the flatpak command or through a graphical interface, such as GNOME Software or KDE Discover.

    Runtime: also called platform, an integrated environment providing basic utilities needed for a Flatpak application to work.

    Flatpak bundle: a single-file export format containing a Flatpak application or runtime.

    From https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html#terminology

    You might be thinking of AppImages, which are more of a pure file format.

        I’m talking about the executable binary flatpak, which is the interface used to execute and manage applications distributed in the Flatpak bundle format.
