Which versions to provide for Linux/UNIX distributions?

[strogonoff]

We have the following options that should work:

AppImage, snap, debian package (deb), rpm, freebsd, pacman, p5p, apk.

• Need to pick the minimum possible set that will satisfy our audience, in near term as few as possible (let’s say up to two)
• @ronaldtse when someone asked for a Linux version, did they specify a Linux distribution?

This task actually came form a request from @brandonnodnarb : What Linux distro do you use?

[strogonoff]

We are going with Snaps as number one option (seems more or less accepted in Ubuntu), but I have a suspicion that it won’t satisfy everyone. In case it doesn’t, we could add an alternative—not sure what it should be…

@ronaldtse @strogonoff I use Debian. However, I now have a Windoze 10 VM I can use. :)

@brandonnodnarb I believe Snap packages also work on Debian? If you don't mind please give it a try... Windows will work but not sure if you want to give up that flexibility 😅

(love your palindromic name BTW 😉 )

Snap has it's own issues. I'll just use the VM. All good.
