Feature description

The ownCloud Client is currently available as a “linux-generic” AppImage. flatpak (see https://flatpak.org/) is another cross-distribution package format which has a growing number of users in many distributions (see Flatpak—the future of application distribution). There are GUI clients (like “Discover” on openSUSE) which make the installation extremely simple even for people who are not willing or are not able to use shell commands ("normal users").

I would recommend that the desktop client is also packaged for flatpak and available on dl.flatpak.org. by the way: the Nextcloud client is already available as a flatpak package

Proposed solution

desktop client as flatpak image

Alternative solutions you considered

none

Additional context

could replace AppImage in the middle run

I can look into the spec and have a try (nice job for christmas break + 38C3 ). Some links about the current build process would be helpful ...
