How to install Nightly GNOME Apps on Ubuntu 18.10


Today we look at how to install Nightly Gnome Apps via Flatpak on Ubuntu 18.10  I also made a video on how they look like and you will find a link below.  The first commands until the first reboot are to install Flatpak on Ubuntu, so it is Ubuntu Specific (but to install it on other Linux distros please look at the flatpak link below), all the other commands are to install Nightly GNOME apps and the same for all Linux Distros.  Enjoy!  Please, take note that is experimental and should be used like that.
