Still waiting for cross distro support with flatpak

Is Flatpak, from a technical standpoint, capable of running VPN applications?

Providing .ovpn configuration files would be equally cross-distro, and in fact, would be cross-platform since almost every operating system supports importing OpenVPN configurations or supports a piece of software that does.

I can’t tell you how, because I don’t know the technical details either, but why shouldn’t it be? If given the right permissions it can access the same interfaces as any process.

It is a bit hard to do, because they have systemd services, early boot blocking and all that. Not possible with Flatpak so they dont waste Time.

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.
