As mentioned earlier, flatpak is just a way for installing programs. It would be good if you were to say what the actual name of the voip software you wanted is. Surely it has a name... :)

Hmm, I was distracted and I think I missed the point, I thought it was more about system customization, not about 'preload' and so on. I like my Debian as it is by default as far as RAM, cache, swap (it never gets used, always at 0).. The developers seem to do a pretty nice work out of it.

If I can let the Softphone project manage the VOIP phone connection, then I can take the step to use a libre cmc router, and ditch the physical phone. Not everybody can be a professional programmer/hacker. Don't worry, I'm from the Netherlands :-)
