Request for Flatpak Distribution Method for Cursor on Linux

[arpagon]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While Cursor is currently distributed via .AppImage, a Flatpak distribution could offer several advantages, such as simplified dependency management and better security features.

Describe the solution you'd like
We propose that Cursor also be made available via Flatpak to take advantage of its benefits. This would complement the existing .AppImage distribution.

Additional context
Flatpak offers a number of features that make it an appealing distribution method:

• Simplified Dependency Management (Documentation)
• Better Security (Documentation)
• Easier Updates (Documentation)

For users looking for a current solution to streamline Cursor updates on Linux, please see this related issue: Cursor App Desktop Integration on Linux.

I must add that for a lot of users, it will be also easier to install as a flatpak and cleaner than a .AppImage file that we don't always know where to put. And if available on flathub, it will allow a lot of people to install it via a single click on their software manager of choice.
