Request for Flatpak Distribution Method for Cursor on Linux

opened 11:08PM - 31 Aug 23 UTC

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** While Curs…or is currently distributed via .AppImage, a Flatpak distribution could offer several advantages, such as simplified dependency management and better security features. **Describe the solution you'd like** We propose that Cursor also be made available via Flatpak to take advantage of its benefits. This would complement the existing .AppImage distribution. **Additional context** Flatpak offers a number of features that make it an appealing distribution method: - Simplified Dependency Management ([Documentation](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html)) - Better Security ([Documentation](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html)) - Easier Updates ([Documentation](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/working-with-flatpak.html)) For users looking for a current solution to streamline Cursor updates on Linux, please see this related issue: [Cursor App Desktop Integration on Linux](https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/844).

There sadly has been no progress so far.
