Feature request :Flatpak bundle

[Lvaskz]

Greetings, on the flathub page there is a version of your application, which can be installed on most stable Linux distributions. I see that on the official page you only have downloads for Ubuntu, but if you provide a flatpak of your application you could cover more distributions, or you could connect to the one that already exists in flathub and present your periodic updates. Consider it, here a link and thank you

Such a repository already exists: https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/io.mgba.mGBA.flatpakref

I know, but do you support it?

[AntyMew]

Erm... I don't know who maintains it, if that's what you mean. Does it matter?

Oh, and I should note that I'm not pretending to represent endrift. I'm just throwing in my two cents as another linux user.

Well, I 'd hope that the original developers do in the future. But is just that, a hope.
Thanks 😊

Other important thing is the updates. Why? Because if you maintain this flatpak app, the updates can arrive without wait to someone to report the app is updated. In that process, to see the updated app from the original developer to see the same app in flatpak, we must wait days or weeks, why? because someone interested in the app must report the update.But if the original developer do, the application will be updated in real time. Maybe you can think : hey, the flathub has maintainers!!! Yes, they do, but to maintain a hundred of apps in flatpak is a hard work, and they depend on the user reports. If nobody did, no update arrived or new version neither. Consider it and thanks for read this. Thanks

i've found AppImages are easier to install and usually have less issues than flatpak bundles.
