Looking for the official releases? These can be found on the Joplin website
Unofficial alternative Joplin distributions
There are a number of unofficial alternative Joplin distributions that people may want to use rather than the officially supported ones. If you do not want to or cannot use appimages or any of the other officially supported releases then you may wish to consider these.
However these do come with a caveat in that they are not officially supported nor endorsed so any specific issues relating to that distribution may not supportable by the main project, rather support requests, bug reports and general advice would need to go to the maintainers of these distributions directly.
All officially supported releases can be found on the Joplin website
Stale or orphaned distributions are also listed under the details tag for each section for information in case people are on these distributions without getting recent updates (or wish to consider taking over or replacing these distributions).
See bottom of post for more information about how these packages can be installed from their respective repositories.
This post is a wiki post so feel free to edit and update this post with relevant information about these distributions and add any new ones that have been missed.
