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.

    Why not the death of IRC and xmpp? Or are only other folks’ complaints a problem? (Not stalking, just wanted to see what you were even doing here aside from complaining about Linux users’ complaining. Turns out it’s complaining.)

    Update - Eh, sorry for being so damn grumpy.
