I think most people would LOVE to have a .deb file which we can install, this just makes everything so much easier and would enable many peoples workflows to not worsen. ---

Hey, we are looking at better ways to install Cursor on Linux at the moment. I have nothing to report right now, unfortunately! Rest assured this is being looked at though. ---

A flatpak, either through Flathub or your own remote would also be a good option, but I’m fine with just a .deb and/or your own apt repo. The app image is just annoying with automated system setup. ---

It would be very nice if there was a package to be pre-installed like Visual Studio Code. ---

Not only that.. I get very frustrated with the AppImage. I’m already running it outside of the sandbox. But the app is still running in the foreground when I start it from the terminal. Even trying to create a desktop file or a alias for it also with `nohup`.. Its all not well designed at all. Please, just like Windsurf just release a deb file / deb repository asap! ---

Hello!?! .deb… Snap… apt… Anything else! PLEASE! Do you guys even use linux 😄 I highly recommend it… makes good servers, then having your native OS similar as your servers helps you become “not afraid of the console”/comfortable/confident If you guys dont know how to do it LMK. I don’t mind picking up a contract or two.. How the heck is this issue almost 2 years old? 🤣 ---

Support. A deb would be more convenient. ---
