Appimages totally suck, because many developers think they were a real packaging format and support them exclusively.
Their use case is tiny, and in 99% of cases Flatpak is just better.
I could not find a single post or article about all the problems they have, so I wrote this.
This is not about shaming open source contributors. But Appimages are obviously broken, pretty badly maintained, while organizations/companies like Balena, Nextcloud etc. don’t seem to get that.
Thanks, yes fully agree. There are a ton if shitty distribution ways.
When I publish stuff on Github (its never big, always small tools) I never let people git clone, just download the needed parts.
Releases are meant for that, but still, putting software on repos may be annoying but its the correct way to do.
