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.
As far as I know flatpak applications can be distributed as a file without the need for a repository, just like .deb or .rpm files
Can they? I’ll be honest, I’m not that familiar with how flatpak works on a more technical level.
