附：Gentoo使用flatpak
1、创建/etc/portage/repos.conf/flatpak-overlay.conf：
[flatpak-overlay]
priority = 50
location = /usr/local/portage/flatpak-overlay
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/fosero/flatpak-overlay.git
auto-sync = Yes
2、emerge --sync然后emerge flatpak
3、从网络安装：
flatpak install --from https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.kicad_pcb.KiCad.flatpakref
4、从文件安装：
从app应用站点：https://flathub.org/ 找到app，下载.flatpakref安装
5、从repository安装
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install flathub com.visualstudio.code
6、运行
flatpak run com.visualstudio.code
附：flathub内应用安装的正确方法
1.在flathub上面搜索应用并用提供命令安装后，一直会出现timeout，如下：
$ flatpak install --from https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/com.obsproject.Studio.flatpakref
error: Can't load uri https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/com.obsproject.Studio.flatpakref: Timeout was reached
2.经过不断的探索，发现安装runtime和sdk是没有问题，安装命令如下：
$ flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Platform//3.26
Installing: org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.26 from flathub
[####################] 10 delta parts, 11 loose fetched; 141642 KiB transferred in 65 seconds
Installing: org.gnome.Platform.Locale/x86_64/3.26 from flathub
[####################] 5 delta parts, 1 loose fetched; 20822 KiB transferred in 17 seconds
~$ flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Sdk//3.26
Installing: org.gnome.Sdk/x86_64/3.26 from flathub
[####################] 19 delta parts, 10 loose fetched; 144926 KiB transferred in 62 seconds
Installing: org.gnome.Sdk.Locale/x86_64/3.26 from flathub
[####################] 5 delta parts, 1 loose fetched; 4657 KiB transferred in 9 seconds
3.突发使用了下面这种方法安装应用，结果不出意外，完全可以成功：
~$ flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio
Required runtime for com.obsproject.Studio/x86_64/stable (org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.9) is not installed, searching...

flatpak已更新到1.4.2
截止2019年7月22日，flatpak已经更新到了1.4.2，你也可以下载源码（flatpak-1.4.2.tar.xz）进行安装。下面是发布详情：
WARNING WARNING WARNING
There was an accidental ABI break in libflatpak in 1.4.0 compared to
the 1.2.x ABI which caused crashes in apps like gnome-software.
This has been fixed in this release so it is now ABI compatible with
1.2.x, but NOT compatible with 1.4.0. It is recommended that all
distributions that shipped 1.4.0 update to 1.4.1 and rebuild all
dependencies of libflatpak.
- Make ABI compatible with 1.2.x
- Update translations
- Fix some potential crashes
- Fix some corner case where it was impossible to remove a remote
- Restore support for file: uris in the RuntimeRepo key in flatpakref files
