What is the correct way to install Joplin on Linux?

Hello all,

As i'm not really familiar with Linux, i'm a bit confused.. I installed Joplin as a Flatpak via Discover on Kubuntu, everything is working fine.

I noticed I was running a 3.5 version, so I press check for update and it downloaded a 3.6 version, but it wouldn't install as it was a appimage download.

This got me digging and I noticed there is a Snap version available on Discover, there is the flatpak which hasn't received a update in a while, then on Joplin webpage there is the Linux button I can press to download a appimage, but further down in the text they say the best way to install on Linux is via this command

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurent22/joplin/dev/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash

Is it just me or is this confusing? it seems to me aswell that I can't update Joplin through Discover which updates every other app I got, if I install via this terminal command.

I'd love Joplin if it weren't between the choice of having to look at a numerical mess or having the notebooks in a very impractical order. My Joplin looks like this:

(1) Notebook

(1) Sub-notebook

(2) Another sub-notebook

(3) The third sub-notebook

(2) Another notebook

(1) Sub-notebook

(2) Another sub-notebook

(3) The third sub-notebook

(4) The forth one

(3) The third notebook

(1) Sub-notebook

(2) Another sub-notebook

(3) The third sub-notebook
