## Introduction

Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux. However, you might want to run Flatpak apps on Windows 10/11 for various reasons, including testing, development, or simply using your favorite Linux applications. This guide will show you how to do that.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have the following:
- A computer running Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Administrator privileges
- [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) installed
- A Linux distribution installed via WSL (e.g., Ubuntu)

> Actually. You can use other distros. I have bought that works on Ubuntu and Fedora (Microsoft Store

```bash
 sudo apt update
```

```bash
 sudo apt install flatpak
```

- Add Flatpak Flathub repo

```bash
 flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

```

- Ready! Now you can install any app and run it normally.

# Example Usage

 sudo flatpak install flathub io.github.alainm23.planify

# Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, consider the following steps:

- Ensure WSL is properly installed and running
