Release as flatpak/in flathub

[commodorable]

As of 1.2.0, Hammer only releases as a .deb on linux. While this works for Debian based linux systems, others such as Fedora use RPM instead of deb and cannot easily install it.

Flatpak is a universal packaging system for linux applications, and uploading it to Flathub allows linux users to easily find, download, install, and update the app.

Please and thank you!

Yes! This is definitely in the plans, but will probably be a while.

would this be a good alternative? I could release this very easily: https://appimage.org/

[commodorable]

Agreed. In my opinion, Flatpak would be best, but Appimage is also great because its universal.

I think flatpak would be better as it is better adopted by different DE's app stores on Linux..

I'm on Manjaro with my main system, an .Appimage for flatpak would be pretty cool! Thanks for the great work!

I would love to! I still haven't figured out how to packaged it into one. This is an area I'd be quite happy to accept a PR or even just some help figuring it out.

Releasing on other platforms isn't my top priority until we get closer to a 1.0 release, but if it can be some some what easily I'd be all for it.
