[scribus] new computer - what OS best for Scribus 1.5.8

[Ingo Wichmann]

Hi Martin,

if openSuSE or third party repositories do not offer scribus packages, 
you may have a look at flatpak:
https://en.opensuse.org/Flatpak

I didn't test, but you may be able to install scribus with these steps:

sudo -i
zypper install flatpak
flatpak remote-add flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak remote-info flathub net.scribus.Scribus
flatpak install net.scribus.Scribus

And then start scribus with:
flatpak run com.spotify.Client

regards,

Ingo
