Please consider flatpak or AppImage packaging of phoenix-desktop

[SugarRayLua]

Describe the problem

Web apps are more difficult to organize amongst other apps than non-web desktop apps and so have been looking forward to using this phoenix-desktop on my latest Ubuntu derivative distribution. Unfortunately, my Ubuntu distribution's dependency for the phoenix-desktop are already much newer that what seemingly the current phoenix-desktop can use, and therefore I'm not able to install the phoenix-desktop using either the recommended bash script nor with apt-get install (due to dependencies being to new in my distribution).

Describe the solution you'd like

Consider packaging a flatpak or AppImage version of the phoenix- desktop so that would not need to worry about what version of the dependencies are on the users' systems. Thanks!

Thanks for reporting the issue, appimages can be built with some effort. We used to have appimage distribution initially, but later stopped due to some issues. Maybe in a few releases we will support it.

Thank you! :-)

Flatpak packages would be more convenient since these can be updated automatically (at least on Linux Mint), whereas AppImages have to be updated manually.
