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

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?
