Maybe create bin installer for AUR

I am not sure about how to publish this app on AUR. (I am an Ubuntu user)

Do you have any good document of it?

Ooo I'm hype for this. There is this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_packages I can't guarantee it's good, I have tried following it once but didn't really know what I was doing and got lost.

It doesn't have anything about bin installers though. In fact, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository mentions that AUR only contains PKGBUILDs, does not directly contain built packages/binaries, but I have definitely come across a lot of -bin packages in the AUR. So I'm not sure where you'd go to find info about that, but it's probably fine even without that. It's better than using snaps, that's for sure 👀

Ah, important footnote: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/thedesk https://github.com/vicr123/thedesk

I'd do #ArchLinuxInstallBattle for it... ASAP.

I searched on the AUR and didn't see anything for this yet, looking forward to it being completed! Once it's done, I'll also add it to Chaotic-AUR
