Why is MangoHUD available not even on the Ubuntu Software, so Ubuntu repositories? Debian, Fedora and even Solus has MangoHUD right in their respective software centers.

On Ubuntu, a user once again needs to open terminal and put things in he/she may not understand at all or the worst: will not be bothered to even begin with those archaic hoops :confused:

There is a flatpak package but it is not showing in the FlatHub. So that is no good either. Could a snap package be possibly done? I mean this little things decide so much for new users.

here is a snapcraft.yaml in case anyone wants to package it …

note though, that this creates a classic snap because mangohud is actually acting as a wrapper around opengl based host binaries, not sure you would get it approved into the store easily …
