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.

Gosh, thanks it worked! I already had the application, but the Fedora version (also a Flatpak) instead of the Flathub one.
It even worked in PopOS. Just installing this image viewer instead of the system one, allowed me to open HEIC pictures in the file explorer and in Kodi.
Now the only thing I can't do is change the default image viewer. Even uninstalling the system one doesn't allow me to do it, but I guess it's because Cosmic is clearly "work in progress". Huge thanks!
