--- Comment #7 from Bastián Díaz <diazbastian@openmailbox.org> ---
(In reply to Yousuf (Jay) Philips from comment #6)
Contacted the author of appimage (
https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/issues/63 ) and he said, "Might be
worth mentioning that the script to generate the AppImage is really easy and
is available here:
https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/libreoffice/Recipe
 So they could basically just take it and integrate it into their workflow."

Yeah, I know. I have seen Probono promotes AppImage in places where there is
talk of Flatpak 😅...

However, I think AppImage and Flatpak are very different approaches and
technologies that are not competing with each other.

LibreOffice already offers a "portable" way through a scrip installation which
makes things easier, however, LO Developers want to offer another portable
alternative?

If the answer is positive, AppImage would be a good generic Linux package to
replacement *.rpm and *.deb packages currently offered by TDF (each
distribution maintainers offer it anyway). Promote the use AppImage in software
stores help greatly improve the user experience when installing this type of
package for the end user, but anyway, it is more easier to use the installation
script currently offered in LibreOffice. 

A distribution system for Linux users using: source code (basic) + Generic
AppImage (Portable) + Flatpak (Advanced and Cool) is simple and always keep the
software updated by TDF.
