Flatpak - Linux

Open cadric opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Flatpak's are a much better universal, sandboxed way of distributing apps on linux. It works on a majory of linux distro's. And it is much easier to handle and update for a user. And for some immutable distro's, like Fedora Silverblue, its the only way to install apps. You can see distro's where flatpaks can be setup for here: https://flathub.org/setup

Describe the solution you'd like While I am happy that you now create RPM and Deb files for libation, it would be better if you did it as a flatpak. They update automatically and it is possible for the user to download the app at either flathub.org or in their software center. There is plenty of information on how to build flatpaks at https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/first-build.html and I am sure if you reached out to cassidyjames, he would be more then happy to help you get setup with building a flatpak. He has helped a lot of apps to get on flathub.

Additional context A Verified version of Libation on flathub would be so hot ;)

Wholeheartedly agree, I am on void linux and I cannot install it. A flatpak would bring in many more users.

Also unable to install on Arch Linux due to the AUR package being broken, and no other alternative for downloading, flatpak would be a game changing!

I don't know how to script github to create a "flatpak". If you do though, let me know

If anyone cares, I did find a snap of the project. https://snapcraft.io/libation

It doesn't work out! The snap build is also broken!
