Hello Gene,

- Debian supports flatpak: it provides a flatpak debian package
- you don't need a flatpak *repository* like flathub to install 
flatpaks, it is more convenient, though (think local apt without 
repositories: it's easier with repositories)
- Debian does not enable the flathub repository by default. If you want 
to use it, enable it yourself

Take a look at the Debian wiki webpage about flatpak, read it carefully: 
how to enable Flathub is explained:
https://wiki.debian.org/Flatpak

if for whatever reason this does not satisfy you, you can read the 
-roughly- same explanations from other sources:

how to enable flathub in Debian is also explained on the flathub website:
https://flathub.org/setup/Debian

this is also explained in the PrusaSlicer help section of their website:
https://help.prusa3d.com/article/installer-prusaslicer_1903

Good luck :-)
