Linux Packages
Please consider packaging the Linux client into the following formats...
AppImage (Works on any distro, portable, entire app is inside a single file (not a folder), easy to install, latest version available)
AUR (Work on arch distros, easy to deploy, safe and secure download, automatic updates, easy to install, latest version available)
Pacstall (Work on debian/ubuntu distros, safe and secure download, automatic updates, latest version available)
Not trying to start a "linux package debate/war" but I have used all of the linux packages out there and I do think these three are the best for the follow reasons above compared to other alternatives such as official arch/debian/ubuntu repos, PPAs, tarballs, snaps and flatpaks.
Can be discussed as a part of #255 I believe.
id say it would benefit the project to pick a linux package that can be distributed through an app store and be distro agnostic. that currently is either flatpak or snaps. imo id take either over any of the alternatives, but if it was down to one or the other, itd be flatpak.
+1 for the AppImage request. I use feather with its appimage releases. Quite easy to work with them. Just download and run, no need to installa thing.
Probably support for AppImage or anything else needs to be added to the desktop project's gradle build, which packages the application for distribution, in case someone can help with the implementation.
