Add repo to linux package managers

[rjsmith899]

When can Muffon be added to the Linux Mint, Debian, and PPA Ubuntu repositories? And can you add Muffon to Flatpak if it is not possible to add it to a repository? Add it to one of these repositories, or Flatpak can be more accessible to the user of the product to keep updated vs. manually doing it with a deb or app image. Thanks

Hello @rjsmith899
Thanks for your suggestion.

1. Debian Repo: This would need a dedicated maintainer which we don't have and don't have time to do ourselves. Also we would have to search for a sponsor.
2. PPA: It's sadly not directly possible to publish nodejs / electron applications to a PPA (Workaround: code another app which serves as a installer, which is time consuming and can introduce bugs)
3. flathub: That's actually possible, I'll talk to @staniel359 about it and keep you updated

Thanks for taking the time and giving muffon a shot, we really appreciate it.

Suggestions are considered very valuable, thank you so much! The team is currently looking into it.

We have officially assigned @gamersi to this issue and he'll be taking care of this.
