If you're going to offer an offline-capable Linux app then no-one wants to use Snap. AppImage or Flatpak is the way.

Curious what the argument is against Snap? They allow very easy updates
It doesn't work on various distributions, lots of people disable it because of various issues like it being much slower to start, it can only connect to one backend at a time (which is Canonical's proprietary one) unlike Flatpak, and generally the Linux community has settled on Flatpak and AppImage as the preferred universal packaging formats.
