Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/open-webui/desktop/issues/41
The application is currently distributed via tar.gz. Providing a Flatpak package would significantly improve the Linux user experience. Linux users are a crucial part of the AI world and most of them are highly engaged and enthusiastic about testing the application.
A Flatpak package offers::
• Simplified Installation: Standardized installation across distributions.
• Dependency Management: Bundled dependencies, avoiding conflicts.
• Sandboxing: Enhanced security through sandboxed execution.
• Automatic Updates: Updates via the Flatpak ecosystem.
• Wider Reach: Leverages the popular Flatpak ecosystem.
Proposed Solution:
Develop a Flatpak manifest, build the package, publish it to Flathub, and provide installation instructions.
Benefits:
• Improved user experience.
• Increased user base.
• Enhanced security.
• Modern packaging standard.
Thank you for considering this!
