After a long resting period, I’m back with more Cool Apps to try in flatpak format.
This article introduces projects available in Flathub with installation instructions.
Flathub is the place to get and distribute apps for all of Linux. It is powered by Flatpak, allowing Flathub apps to run on almost any Linux distribution.

These apps are classified into four categories:
