    appimage is easy for me now, but it took me forever 2 years ago to figure out that --no-sandbox addition needed and i still am annoyed that I often have a problem getting the icon on a menu or panel.
    i think we should be open to criticism so that we can improve Linux and thereby starve the BigTech beast. If you have weeds in your garden, don’t make excuses for them, yank them out or allow them to grow in more appropriate places.

      I’ve used AppImages a bunch but i’ve never heard about “–no-sandbox” so far. Do you know of apps that won’t run without it?

      i still am annoyed that I often have a problem getting the icon on a menu or panel.

      I’ve personally had good luck with AppImageLauncher in the past, but lately i just run apps from terminal. There’s also a bunch of other solutions. Let me know what worked for you :)

      100% agree.

      Some weeds are really good for your garden’s ecosystem in fact, but that’s off-topic :)

        Since electron was apgraded or fixed, that appendage is no longer needed. I read that all of those appimages were made using electron. I did have AppImageLauncher and used it a first, but forgot about it. No longer have it.
