> As a user I want to download the thing and run it. AppImages provide that.

Yes. And no.

About 70-80% of AppImages I downloaded in the past didn't even start. 100% of my installed Flatpaks have been running fine on any distro I tried. I would love a world where Flatpak was redundant, but it very clearly isn't.




I'm curious, could you try this one and tell me if it starts ? so far it works in all the mainstream distros I could try but if there's someone out there who cannot open it with an OS less than a decade old, I want to make sure I can fix that : https://github.com/ossia/score/releases/download/v3.2.0/ossi...
