Goose Desktop as a Flatpak app #6602

@bitsByB

Description

@bitsByB

#2820

Motivation
Many Linux users prefer Flatpak for sandboxed, distribution-agnostic desktop apps. Providing an official Flatpak for Goose Desktop will:

  • Make installation simple across major distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu via flathub support, GNOME Software/Snap-free distros).
  • Improve security by running the app in a sandbox with permission controls.
  • Simplify dependency handling and avoid distro-specific packaging issues.
  • Increase discoverability via Flathub, lowering friction for new users.

Describe the solution you'd like
Flatpak App available in the Flathub and Bazaar

Alternatives considered
AppImage: single-file distribution is simpler but lacks centralized discovery (Flathub) and sandboxing controls of Flatpak.
