In case you are curious:

flatpak - a way to package applications so they have everything they need regardless of the Linux OS you choose (like how Electron packages a web app, e.g. Slack or Discord)
mesa - the graphics layer on Linux; this connects the OS to your drivers
Debian stable - a really stable version of Linux with old software; think Debian Stable = Windows 10/7, and most other distros are like Windows 11; some apps don't work on Debian because it's so old, hence flatpak

Anyway, I hope you have a fantastic day. :)
