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.
That’s elitist behaviour right here, if you want for Linux to get bigger user base then there have to be a simpler way of doing thinks “without thinking” no matter how simply you’ll make the process, it always need to go simpler because that’s the way you acquire big user base, p.s: mind you, I’m not a windows user myself, I’ve been daily driving Linux for almost 9 years already, but i just understand what your everyday John need when i remember myself back in the day, i think maybe, proper way of building Linux for everyday people is chrome os and android, and yes, you may say android is not Linux, android is not gnu/linux android is bionic/linux but it’s still Linux and those two examples are good to majority of people
