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.

Carburetor is an elegant, user-friendly GUI for TOR with the following features:
Don't you mean Works everywhere where Flatpak is available?
How about "Works everywhere and is available as a flatpak for convenience"? Maybe that was the intended message?
Isn't flatpak available in all distros?
Alpine. FreeBSD. OK, spent.
People love hating on flatpak for some reason. Maybe they only have 256MB of storage or something.
(how) does it work on phones?
Yes it work on arm cpu fine on my oneplus6 post market os I am watching freetube in flatpak
oh, postmarket. no it does not work anywhere, then, especially since phones are in the focus in the title
Flatpaks do work on phones if app itself support the architecture. And this does support the architecture
how do you install a flatpak package on a phone? how would I do it?
And if you reaally need it in android, that is also technically possible:
You just need a linux phone. And you have flatpak availiable. Just install arm version flatpak and run flatak install whatever
ok, I see. was asking because OP said that it works everywhere, including phones
Being available as a flatpak doesnt mean it will only run as a flatpak.
