This page provides information about available Flatpak runtimes. It is primarily intended as information for application developers and distributors. See the developer documentation for more information about how to install runtimes and SDKs.
There are currently two main runtimes available: Freedesktop and GNOME. The Freedesktop runtime is the standard runtime that can be used for any application and contains a set of essential libraries and services, including D-Bus, GLib, PulseAudio, X11 and Wayland.
The GNOME runtime is based on the Freedesktop runtime and adds the GNOME platform, including libraries like GStreamer, GTK+, GVFS and more. It is appropriate for any application that makes use of the GNOME platform.
A KDE runtime is in development.
Freedesktop runtimes are hosted at sdk.gnome.org and signed with this key. To add this repository, run:
$ flatpak remote-add --from gnome https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome.flatpakrepo
Available runtimes:
