Yeah, I know. I have seen Probono promotes AppImage in places where there is talk of Flatpak 😅... However, I think AppImage and Flatpak are very different approaches and technologies that are not competing with each other. LibreOffice already offers a "portable" way through a scrip installation which makes things easier, however, LO Developers want to offer another portable alternative? If the answer is positive, AppImage would be a good generic Linux package to replacement *.rpm and *.deb packages currently offered by TDF (each distribution maintainers offer it anyway). Promote the use AppImage in software stores help greatly improve the user experience when installing this type of package for the end user, but anyway, it is more easier to use the installation script currently offered in LibreOffice. A distribution system for Linux users using: source code (basic) + Generic AppImage (Portable) + Flatpak (Advanced and Cool) is simple and always keep the software updated by TDF. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
