Describe the request
Hi everyone,
While I love using Cursor on Linux, I think it’s time for an official Flatpak distribution on Flathub.
The AppImage works, but as Linux Desktop moves toward immutable architectures (like Fedora Silverblue, openSUSE Aeon, etc.), Flatpak has become the industry standard for application delivery.
Why Flatpak over AppImage?
Security & Sandboxing: An IDE should have a controlled environment.
Centralized Updates: No more manual management; updates are handled by the system (GNOME Software/KDE Discover).
Discoverability: Being on Flathub would make Cursor the go-to AI editor for new Linux users.
XDG Compliance: Better system integration (icons, file associations, etc.) without third-party tools.
Cursor is a forward-thinking AI editor. It deserves a modern, standardized distribution method on Linux.
Please upvote if you’d like to see Cursor on Flathub!
