What’s the best way to distribute a binary application for Linux?

Question

I just finished porting an application from Windows into Linux.
I have to create an installer of the application.
The application is not open source

Answer 1

Today, I would also look at Snapcraft and Flatpak which are embraced by some popular distributions. I explored other options and it is what ended up working best for me. Flatpak in particular also helped me learn about standard Linux desktop conventions to follow.
