From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Backup of installed flatpaks? (sh.itjust.works)

I have a couple of flatpaks installed that are no longer available on flathub, and i want to make sure to back them up so that i can run them later if i install a fresh distro for example.

Is it as simple as copying the application folder from ~/.local/share/flatpak and adding it there later? Does that include dependencies as well?

Based on the above comment, I think you are looking for ~/.var/app.

Bruh, I am pretty sure when I commented the question, this information wasn't there.

Is there a way to see previous edits of a comment in fediverse?

Edit: Nvm I didnt read properly
