	Getting Started
	{variant-name} is designed to be easy and straightforward to use, and specialist knowledge should generally not be required. However, {variant-name} is built differently from other operating systems, and there are therefore some things that it is useful to know.
	{variant-name} has different options for installing software, compared with a standard {variant-classic} (or other package-based Linux distributions). These include:
	Flatpak apps: This is the primary way that (GUI) apps get installed on {variant-name}.
	Toolbox: Used primarily for CLI apps; development, debugging tools, etc., but also has support for graphical apps.
	Package layering: Most Fedora packages can be installed on the system with the help of package layering. By default the system operates in pure image mode, but package layering is useful for things like libvirt, drivers, etc.
	Although Flatpak is best suited for GUI apps, Toolbox for CLI apps and package layering for system-level packages, it's ultimately up to you to choose the method that best suits your needs. There's nothing wrong in installing CLI apps with Flatpak, or GUI apps with Toolbox, or using package layering only. Nevertheless, our examples stick to the aforementioned recommendations throughout this documentation.
	For information on <<flatpak>> and <<package-layering,package layering>>, see below.
	See the dedicated xref:toolbox.adoc[toolbox] page to get started with it.
	Flatpak
	Flatpak is the primary way that apps can be installed on {variant-name} (for more information, see http://flatpak.org[flatpak.org]). Flatpak works out of the box in {variant-name}, and Fedora provides a small (but growing) collection of apps that can be installed.
	The other main source of Flatpak apps is https://flathub.org/home[Flathub], which provides a large repository of Flatpak apps that can be installed.
	Setting up Flathub
	To setup Flathub on {variant-name}, open the https://flatpak.org/setup/Fedora/[Flathub setup page for Fedora] and click the “Flathub repository file” button to download the Flathub configuration.

	A popup window will show a download option for the file. The “Open with” option should show “Software Install (default)”. Click on the “OK” button to start the download.
