-# Running Flatpak Apps Should Be Faster
-
-If you're like me and use Flatpak for those pesky apps that cannot run on your
-system for one reason or another, you likely get annoyed with opening a terminal
-and manually running the Flatpak app with the lengthy `flatpak run ...` command.
-
-In the past, I manually created aliases in my `.zshrc` file for certain apps.
-For example, an alias would look like the example below.
-
-This would allow me to run the command fast within the terminal, but it wouldn't
-allow me to run it in an application launcher.
-
-```sh
-# ~/.zshrc
-alias librewolf = "flatpak run io.gitlab.librewolf-community"
-```
-
-However, I now use a much faster and better method that integrates with the
-tiling WMs I use and their application launchers - `dmenu` and `bemenu`.
-
-# Creating Symlinks for Flatpak Apps
-
-Let's use the example of Librewolf below. I can install the application like so:
-
-```sh
-flatpak install flathub io.gitlab.librewolf-community
-```
-
-Once installed, I can create a symlink to link the flatpak app to my new symlink
-in a location commonly included in your PATH. In this case, I chose `/usr/bin`.
-You may need to choose a different location if `/usr/bin` isn't in your PATH.
-
-```sh
-ln -s /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/io.gitlab.librewolf-community /usr/bin/librewolf
-```
-
-Once complete, you should be able to launch the app using the command name you
-chose above in the symlink (`librewolf`) from a terminal or from your
-application launcher!
