From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, Docker apps are more appropriate for servers and most apps are "made" to run 24/7 to serv the home or workplace.

They are very much worth the "work to setup" as they can be transfered/replicated to any system.

Flatpak and the alike are for running apps on a desktop/laptop.

Agreed. My answer was in the assumption that it's about desktop apps as the OP mentioned Electron.
