Would OpenPlotter work on Ubuntu?
#10

Why not to create a meta package for openplotter for each distribution which will in its own pre-install script will register
openplotter PPA and have openplotter settings as dependency. Work with those distributions to accept  this meta package into
their official package repository (only that meta package) and the rest will be in openplotter PPA.
In this case no need to build custom SD card images. Openplotter is a set of package on top of any official distro.
This will speed up release cycles.

Just brain storming

We will never try to build and maintain SD images for any distribution different than Raspberry OS 32 and 64 bits.

Creating and maintaining an official package could be done (you should create and maintain just the Debian package and it would be available for any derivative) but from my experience trying to maintain a official package is a hard work and really time demanding.

I think installing openplotter in any Debian derivative is easy enough currently: https://openplotter.readthedocs.io/en/la...l#advanced but if anyone wants to create a Debian official package it would be great. Actually it is usual that packages maintainers are not the program developers.
