Xenia in a Flatpak

[aliasbody]

For those not familiar with flatpak I'll let here an url quickly explaining what the goals are: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html

So I've built a file to create a flatpak version of xenia running the windows version with Wine (using the vulkan GPU). This is a barebone version just to know if the concept could work.

I'm creating this issue (don't know if a pull request or a contact via discord would be better to discuss this) in order to provide my help, if the xenia dev team sees it fit, to make this xenia an official flatpak distributable via flathub in order.

Here is the request in the flathub page (here I'm using a personal ID but if this could be oficially added it would be better and an official "jp.xenia" ID should be used.

Flathub pull request: flathub/flathub#4835

What is the point of packing a flatpak for wine? wine-bottles or steam proton is more useful, and I don't see what the benefit of this is. You can already run wine, bottles, proton, and steam, through flatpak.

Would love to see a real, native Linux Flatpak shipped via Flathub.

with steam os coming out to other platforms like the ROG Ally having a universal flatpak build will not only help those on different distros but also to those on immutable ones like bazzite and steam os itself which do not have write permissions on the root filesystem, thereby not allowing to install the app normally. This would thus be a step in the right direction for xenia devs since they are considering a native linux build.
