Cross-Linux Packaging Systems, esp. Flatpak

article #1213, updated 2307 days ago

Flatpak appears currently the best supported. Many apps and tools can be loaded through it. The Snap system is not at this writing satisfactorily supported under Arch Linux, but it alone appears to contain PowerShell.

To use Flatpak under Arch, first you’ll need to install the Flatpak system:

pacman -S flatpak

and then you’ll want to download a .flatpakref file from flathub.org. Once you have that, run this:

flatpak install *.flatpakref

and the install will commence, it will install runtime prerequisites as needed.
