Hi,

up to this we did not think about this

Why this will be better?

Because It would be available for any Linux distribution including those not deb-based or rpm-based like Arch Linux, Manjaro, Solus, Gentoo, ChomeOS, Puppy Linux, Slackware.

Another good reason is that you can pack your software and all your dependencies together. So you don't need to rely on shared libraries from the OS.

Finally, Valentina Studio would be available in Flathub Store or Snap Store. More users would discover and use it.

Isn't the Snap store just the current iteration of Ubuntu's previous third party store?

No, snaps and flakpaks are new package formats for Linux.

Snap Store is the Ubuntu store for snaps and Flathub is the main community store for flatpaks.

Thank you, Nielson.

I guess you think first of all about Valentina Studio,

Linux archives right now take 70% of size and time to build them.
well, we will think about this of course. But we need some time ...

When you say store - does this mean something like Apple Store?
Do they take some % of sales? Or this is just about a new special format?
