Package app as Flatpak #529

Open Cerberus-ik opened 2 months ago

Currently, MV is available for .deb and .rpm based distros and ships one universal binary.

Using the universal binary is not ideal and a Flatpak would be greatly appreciated for added compatibility, security and ease of use.

Almost all Linux distros support Flatpaks at this point, which would make the .deb and .rpm packages redundant.

Please do this, the manual updating on a Home Theatre PC is getting painful... And flatpak build files are really not too bad, even more complex ones like the MPV (which will be a really good reference) are actually not too bad to work with compared to packaging debs or rpms.

Another good reference would be the stremio flatpak (the do things a bit differently though)
