Publish Flatpak or RPM package for fedora and other distros

[geugenm]

Problem Statement

I'm always frustrated when I want to install software on Fedora but have to deal with manual .rpm file installations. This process is cumbersome and not user-friendly, especially for less tech-savvy users.

❔ Possible Solution

I propose creating a Flatpak or RPM package that can be easily installed and updated through standard package management tools like GNOME Software or KDE Discover. This would streamline the installation process and make it more accessible for all users.

⤴️ Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually installing RPM

➕ Additional context

There are existing discussions about making software installations easier on Fedora, including requests for automatic builds in COPR and suggestions for excluding unnecessary files from RPM packages. Implementing a standardized Flatpak or RPM package would align with these ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience on Fedora and other distros.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!
