   @quad AppImage is actually shit because of that. It's as dirty as it gets. Dependencies are all shipped within the binary, which are very likely to end up duplicated both in the HDD and in the RAM (and do if you run multiple processes of that AppImage and/or have multiple AppImages). You have to take care of putting the program somewhere (that place usually ends up being the desktop or the downloads folder), and either you update them manually or have to code an update daemon into it.

     @quad It's the Electron of Linux apps. It's heavy, it's unsafe, it copies the worst model (Windows' portable .EXEs) it's a mess.
