Description
I don't know who is in charge of the upstream packaging for Fedora, but I'm getting ready to install Fedora 35 and apparently there is no package for JOSM in the repo. Fedora is my preferred distro. Packages used to be available for it and I will miss JOSM. I don't know why you concentrate on Ubuntu and neglect Fedora, but I don't use Ubuntu.

Using Webstart (.jnlp) or simply the jar file are options, too.
Replying to taylor.smock:
While I personally don't use Ubuntu (I use Arch or Fedora), it was the largest desktop distribution last time I checked.
The name is misleading. In fact, it is a Debian package and should work with most derivatives.

Yes. With that being said, I don't know if lamplighter is using Fedora Silverblue or not. I've been meaning to install it for awhile, and I don't think it comes with Java, and while it does allow "layering" (rpm-ostree), it is discouraged.
The name is misleading. In fact, it is a Debian package and should work with most derivatives.
That is both true and false, unless something changed:
From wiki:/Download#Ubuntu:
It should also work with other Debian based (especially Ubuntu based) distributions, but we do not actively test and maintain any distributions other than Ubuntu.
Yes, it should work. No, we don't guarantee it.

Actually, I do not know what "test" means. I can only say, that I use it on GNU-Debian for years now without any problem.
I would recommend using the Flatpak available on FlatHub.
While I personally don't use Ubuntu (I use Arch or Fedora), it was the largest desktop distribution last time I checked.
I'm pretty certain that Fedora's Gnome Software center has FlatHub as a source by default, so you should be able to just do a search for JOSM in the software center.
TBH, we should probably look into getting at least one of the core developers onto the developer/maintainer list on the source repo for the josm flatpak. For starters, someone needs to update the start script.
