Linux: Drop AppImages in favor of Flatpaks #1124

What is your suggestion?

It would be great to see the FTB App use Flatpaks instead of AppImages for packaging the FTB App as a distribution agnostic package, this could possibly also reduce the general packaging efforts by removing the need for deb and rpm packages if all goes smoothly.

Additional information

It appears that some functionality of the FTB App to work with the least issues requires a permanent location to be installed in, which AppImages by design do not provide, which causes issues that have been open for almost 7 years to probably never be fixed, ever.

We do intend on shipping out a Flatpak of the App in the near future, we've just got to figure out all the details of getting it onto the flatpak registry. It's a relatively involved process that we're yet to have had time to dedicate to it.

Hope this helps :+1:
