Hi All,

I'm going to stop maintaining the disto packages released with the app, namely:
- Ubuntu (PPA)
- Debian
- openSUSE
- Raspbian

Please switch to using the official distro packages instead, if they are available.

The reasons for the change:
- Maintaining the packages takes relatively a lot of effort every release.
- These packages still use old Qt 5 libraries - the app already supports Qt 6.
- Packages in the official distro repos are likely better maintained.

Let me know if you want help to maintain the package for any Linux distribution.

I will keep releasing the Flatpak which could be installed on many distros:

I also tried to get the AppImage to work, but it likely needs some source code updates.
Any help with the draft patch is welcome: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/pull/3323

Thanks,
Lukas
