Currently there aren't official packages with this game for the most popular Linux distros. So, I added flatpak build support. I tested it on my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system and all's OK: I can connect to the servers and save game configuration.
Unfortunately I had to use a dirty hack with symlinks for "XDGising" game's config and cache.

Why not submit it to @flathub instead?

I think Flathub will not accept a game that uses assets copyrighted by Jagex Ltd.

It seems like a nice solution, thanks. If I have enough free time, I will upgrade this flatpak manifest and try to coordinate the publication with Flathub administration.
