flatpak: Run an installed application.
$ flatpak run ${name}
try on your machine

The command "flatpak run ${name}" is used to run an application installed via Flatpak, a technology for distributing and running Linux applications.

In this command, "${name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the application you want to run. You need to replace "${name}" with the specific application's identifier or name.

When you execute this command in a terminal, it tells Flatpak to launch the specified application and run it. The application will start in a separate sandboxed environment provided by Flatpak, ensuring it runs securely and independently of your system.

Overall, this command simplifies the process of running an application installed via Flatpak, enabling you to quickly launch and use the desired application on your Linux system.
