Description
In the past there were linux packages under releases, deb and AppImage bundles. But they are not published on release since around November. Is there a reason for this change? This is especially cumbersome, because since a few weeks there are circumstances, where chats just report a weird error, prolly due to some changes in the protocol stack. So the old clients are incompatible to the newer protocol features (this is just a guess on my side).
Please build and publish the linux bundles again. I currently use a self-built deb package from your repo, which is cumbersome to do every now and then, while you already have the full build chain and artifacts at hand.

Research direction
Start by tracing the repository's release and build configuration for the Linux packages, focusing on the deb and AppImage bundles and the existing build chain. Confirm why these artifacts stopped appearing around November and verify that a release publishes both Linux bundles again. Done means fresh deb and AppImage packages are available under releases.
