Right now we only produce .deb files for Ubuntu (and presumably Debian, but who runs Debian on the desktop?). There are a number of new packaging solutions in the Linux world with the top 3 being (in no real order):\r\n\r\n1. Snap packages - promoted by Canonical which is probably the most capable of these to isolate the app from the distro.\r\n2. AppImage - which some popular projects use and is the most stable\r\n3. FlatPack - promoted by Red Hat/Fedora and the least likely, imo, to succeed.\r\n\r\nbtw, @zaggino I tried release 1.8.1 and it seems pretty solid so far. It's already better than stock Brackets for Linux users because of:\r\n\r\n1. Native menus\r\n2. The window doesn't need 2 clicks to close via the X\r\n3. remembers window size and position between sessions\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/zaggino/brackets-electron/issues/comments/245819181","html_url":"https://github.com/zaggino/brackets-electron/issues/61#issuecomment-245819181","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/zaggino/brackets-electron/issues/61","id":245819181,"user":{"login":"zaggino","id":1067319,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1067319?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino","html_url":"https://github.com/zaggino","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/zaggino/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-09-09T04:53:15Z","updated_at":"2016-09-09T04:53:15Z","body":"AppImage is now provided for latest version: https://github.com/zaggino/brackets-electron/releases/tag/v1.8.2"}}
