I have also built 3.2 successfully, I posted the comment about flatpak in response to the previous post on it. Building is not difficult for those with a little linux experience, but I suspect it would prove challenging for a novice even with the information on the wiki. There is also a snap package but it has not been updated to v3 and again there seems to be little interest from the maintainer, unfortunately.
