Proper support for GNU/Linux: Debian packages or at least a flatpak #12090

With snaps you've left out support for the largest group of potential users. Linux Mint is the leading desktop distribution with the largest number of users and has been for a decade now ever since Canonical mucked up Ubuntu in its switch to Unity in 2012 (now abandoned, they lost 50% of their user base in one fell swoop). Most GNU/Linux users are using a distribution derived from Debian so packaging for Debian and Flatpaks makes the most sense, not snaps which is a proprietary Ubuntu solution. Flatpaks are included just about everywhere else although properly supported Debian packages are always preferable provided they show up in Linux Mint's software center.
