Application developers will often choose Flatpak as a medium for packaging and distributing their software. Flatpak allows developers to make their software available across all types of Linux systems without having to publish individual installers to satisfy the requirements of each distribution. App developers can also utilize Flatpak’s distribution system which relies on software repositories; it is rather easy to host your own or upload your work to a renowned Flatpak remote.

List of Python Escape sequence characters with examples
When programming in Python, escape characters can be used in order to tell the compiler that it should treat the next character or characters differently. For example, we can tell Python to print a quote " as an actual quote character, rather than interpreting it to be part of the Python code. Other special characters like \t can create TAB spaces, and \n can create new lines. In this tutorial, you will see a list of Python escape sequence characters and examples that you can use on a Linux system.
An Introduction to Flatpak App Bundles
Ordinarily, Flatpak is utilized by querying online repositories for software to download and install. Installing an application from a repository (like FlatHub) means that it is very easy to maintain updates for the application and others that have been installed via Flatpak. However, Flatpak also gives us the option to install individual applications with the .flatpak extension.
