[REQUEST] Add a flatpak package for linux

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Kinda, well electron currently doesn't have musl support, and since hydra launcher uses electron, this means that this wont work on distros such as gentoo, void linux, chimera linux, or alpine linux.

Describe the solution you'd like

The solution for this would be like how VSCode or Vesktop implemented it, which is by making a flatpak package, which allows it to run on musl init systems without the need of installing electron

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have attempted building it from source, But always came across errors, I know this is pretty vague, But if you want to request more information, Im down to give error logs.

Additional context

This would just make stuff more easier in my opinion, instead of having just a .deb and .rpm with a zip file for linux support, a flatpak package would just be more universal and simpler.

Another thing to note, is comments like "why not just use snap" or "why not just use appimage", Neither appimage or snap work in musl, while flatpak does.
