flatpak - What's a flatpak runtime?

Question

What exactly is a flatpak runtime? Is it a virtual machine like JVM (Java) and CPython? Or is it more like something like virtualenv? I already read the flatpak documentation but it was not clear to me.

Answer 1

它更像 virtualenv 而不是 JVM 之类的。它创建一组隔离的文件，以便明确定义一个应用程序的依赖关系。

但是，不是将所有依赖项复制到此环境中，而是以安全的方式共享一些依赖项——这就是“运行时”。
