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.

    So you prefer to not have any updates or secure verification, because you dont want a second package manager?

    Dude you are the second package manager, and if you dont follow the whole gpg verification process I described in another comment, that is less secure.
