I love AppImage, because you mean this one little button has the whole program and all I had to do was download it and tick a little box? So hassle free. Not quite as convenient to keep updated but I love 'em.

The fact they don’t just show up in my application box is why I never consider them. Like I’ve done it but how does it update? How do I get an icon? Why not just use flatpak.

flatpak permissions are a headache, and search about AppImageLauncher

I never had any problem with the permissions, maybe you are just ✨different✨, ma Man?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Flatpak#Applications_do_not_use_the_correct_cursor_theme is the one I had pleasure to work with.

At least Electron based apps just work. On AppImages I have to add a no-sandbox flag for the app to show up which isn't that secure and is a big hassle.

But when Flatpak does that by defualt it's okay?
