Flatpak hints

[plata]

Disclaimer: I've created the Flatpak for PlayOnLinux 5 (see https://github.com/flathub/org.phoenicis.playonlinux).

• There's an NPM package to build electron flatpaks: https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-installer-flatpak.
• To run Wine inside the Flatpak, you have to install certain packages and enable some options (e.g. that controllers can be used).
  • https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis/tree/master/phoenicis-dist/src/flatpak (might be a good starting point)
  • https://github.com/winepak/winepak
  • https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam
• In general: How to handle Wine? Currently, HGL uses the system Wine. For Flatpak this means, that Wine should be part of the Flatpak (like in Winepak). Problem: Different games might need different Wine versions and you must update the used Wine occasionally. With the PoL 5 Flatpak, we do not have this issue because PoL downloads Wine on demand (i.e. when you install an app) from https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/binaries/phoenicis/.

Thanks @plata , I'll prepare a Flatpak release as soon as the app is more stable.
