If you use it Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10, the news below is for you. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) will support Flatpak very soon. So you'll be able to install new versions of apps the same way you do on mainstream Linux distributions.
Flatpak (formerly xdg-app) is a development utility software, package management and application virtualization on Linux computers. It provides a sandbox environment within which users can run applications in isolation from the rest of the system.
Flatpak allows installation bleeding-edge applications. Flatpak packages come with all the required sub-packages so you don't need to recompile the code to install the latest version of an app.
Ο Alexander Larsson, the lead developer and creator of the Flatpak package system, announced the addition of Flatpak to WSL at application blog.
The project is still in development, but anyway, the news is amazing. One day, it will be able to run in a Linux operating environment running Windows 10 with just a few clicks.
