Currently, Hyperbola doesn't include Flatpak for the following reason:
> The project itself would bring up another way to distribute software, but as there is no source available without non-free packages and also no restriction to be implemented: Possible non-free dependencies and software would be then provided direct on the system.

But that's wrong, the Flathub, the main Flatpaks packages repertory indicate that it is possible to configure Flatpak with "flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --subset=verified_floss flathub-verified-floss https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo" so it only include FLOSS softwares.

It is not perfect as a few softwares such as Only Office are marked as free even if they are not. However, a lot of FLOSS softwares are now using only Flapak as an official way to install them.
