[SUGGESTION] Flatpak or AppImage for Linux builds

Armory Engine General
1

Hi,

In order to get around the issues with shared libraries etc. currently making it difficult to get the Linux build of Armory running on many distributions I want to suggest to release future builds for Linux as Flatpaks (Single-file bundles, see http://flatpak.org/developer.html#Distributing_Applications).

Flatpaks don’t have to be a replacement, but could be an alternative that would make it a lot easier for people to get Armory up and running on Linux with full Blender integration, and not just as an add-on.

BR,
guzzard

Yeah, Appimage should be able to be used on any distro (I know it’s usable for Solus OS, which is what I use). I’m not sure about Flatpaks - last I checked, there’s no plans to support it under Solus OS.

AppImage is a good alternative as well. :thumbsup:
