Hello all,
As a Linux user, I’m seeing quite a few support requests for issues with installation on different distributions. Has there been any thought on creating a Flatpak? I think this will solve quite a few install issues. Personally, I run Fedora and openSUSE (both Tumbleweed and Leap) and I struggle to get Local working on Fedora and can’t get it working at all on openSUSE.
Thanks
Hi @cmccullough
Thank you for your feature request! Looking at the data from our end, usage for these other distributions is really low so it’s just not something we’ve been able to give a high priority. That said we’re always following the forums for ideas and opportunities to keep our users happy 
I’ll forward this to our team and we’ll follow this and other related requests for interest and consideration.
Hey @Nick-B!
Thank you so much for the follow-up! I really appreciate it.
If your team does decide to move forward with creating a Flatpak (or even a Snap), I’ll be more than happy to do testing for you if needed.
Thanks again!
Thank you for that offer @cmccullough!
I created an account here just to suggest creation of flatpak or snap of this software. I don’t like Ubuntu as much and Fedora or any rpm based distro is probably not going to be my main distro. Just release Local for flatpak or snap please. I would highly appreciate it.
@faisal6309 Thanks for chiming in with support of a flatpak or snap but to be honest, I don’t think this will ever happen. Personally, I’ve moved on to other tools/apps for building WordPress sites.
