NOT CROSS PLATFORM
Linux User Here. (I am actually an OpenSUE and Arch user) when you think providing an Ubuntu solution https://www.typora.io/#linux https://www.typora.io/#linux and have
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://typora.io https://typora.io linux/'
this does not make this a Linux platform solution. Currently I think
1) Provide a RPM and a DEB
2) Provide a tar ball of the source so it can be compiled
3) Using a Linux application installer like flatpak, appimage or snap would also make it acceptable to me instead of RPM/DEB
Thank you for your work but being on Linux isn't simple and I don't think it is accurate to say cross compatible on Linux when all we got is a deb. Hope that in the next 3 years it gets easier.
The best solution I believe for providing packages for multiple of distribution is SUSE Build Services https://build.opensuse.org/ https://build.opensuse.org/. It provides the ability to build once and SUSE build solution will make packages for other distros. So it will make a deb, rpm and you could even have a package for Arch.

- creshal 10y agoFWIW, electron-builder even offers to generate Debian, RPM, Arch and plain tar packages simultaneously. So there's really no reason not to offer all.
- ayoisaiah 10y agoThere's an AppImage available which you can use to install it on any Linux Platform. I'm not sure how updates work for that though https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/Typora/0.9.19.glibc2.12#files https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/Typora/0.9.19.glibc2.1...
