[Request]: Provide alternative packaging that doesn't rely on Flatpak #68
Description
Tell us the problem or your need
I wanted to set up a chroot so that I could use outdated versions of Python without messing up my OS. Apparently Atoms requires Flatpak to install properly, so I tried to install it with sudo apt install flatpak.
apt informed me that Flatpak would require libmalcontent-0-0 as a dependency. libmalcontent is a library for malcontent, which is designed to restrict the freedom of people in their pursuit of media content (among other things).
As I am not willing to make that compromise just to get easy chroot configurations, I would like to kindly request some other way to install or at least use Atoms.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like a package available in apt or snap so that I can use your software while still maintaining control over my machine.
Other solutions?
I would be willing to settle for an archive containing pre-built binaries as an alternative method of packaging.
