Maybe there are several Didiers?
More seriously:
1. There is no GUI version. This is a command line app. But after having
installed an application, it will have an entry in the Application
menu. To
know more, after installation type:
man flatpak
flatpak --help
you can run flatpak as regular user, it will ask root's password before
installing/removing stuff.
2. Your understanding is correct.
3. Installing it won't hurt, as long as you don't use it ;)

What would a flatpak do for me as a desktop gui user? My
understanding is that is supposed to allow me to run packages which
are not part of the distribution in what is so called a sandbox. but
if the gui version of it is not accessible it would be of limited use
for me. I will install it anyway once you make it available.

Hi Ibrahim and All,
no Micro is not provided by Slint (yet). I learned its existence
today <smile>.
I have built flatpak and pipe-viewer and also its GUI
gtk-pipe-viewer (not fully
accessible, but nice).
It took me more time than anticipated, but expect a big batch of
updates for
Slint tomorrow (37 packages, including the many dependencies of file
viewer).
I did some reading and tests with flatpak, and wouldn't recommend to
use that,
especially if space on disk is a concern.
Worth reading about that:

However, "chose promise, chose due" as we say here, a flatpak
package will be
available for Slint users tomorrow.
Cheers,
Didier

Thanks a bundle for all of you folks. I did not know how much of a
discussion my innocent and naive question would generate. I learned
a lot from your answers. Although I have never messed with
configuration files since the days of the autoexec.bat in the days
of dos, I think I have enough courage to play with changing some
configuration settings using some of the editors you suggested.
I launched few of them both in the desktop and in the terminal and
I found geany and nano to be easy. I did not find Micro, I guess it
is not preinstalled on slint.
I know that my editing needs would be very basic.
Cheers,
Ibrahim
