## Runtimes



Runtimes provide basic dependencies that can be used by applications. They also provide the environment that applications run in.



### Platforms



- [org.freedesktop.Platform -](https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/)

- org.freedesktop.BasePlatform - a smaller runtime

- [org.kde.Platform](https://invent.kde.org/kde/flatpak-kde-runtime) ([Docs](https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Flatpak))

- [org.gnome.Platform](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta)

- [org.fedora.Platform](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/flatpak/runtimes/)

- org.fedoraproject.BasePlatform - a smaller runtime

- [org.winepak.Platform](https://github.com/winepak/winepak-sdk-images)



### Base Apps



Base apps contain collections of bundled dependencies which can then be bundled as part of an application. 



- [org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp](https://github.com/flathub/org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp)

- [io.atom.electron.BaseApp](https://github.com/endlessm/electron-flatpak-base-app) - [example](https://github.com/flathub/electron-sample-app), deprecated



## Portal



Flatpak apps interface with the host system mostly via DBUS calls

to the a daemon [xdg-desktop-portal](https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal) running on the host system.
