I'm not sure why they bothered making Flatpaks and Snaps when AppImages
work pretty much everywhere. I mean, how can you beat something which
requires nothing more than for you to make it executable?

appimaged is handy as it will search for AppImages, extract the icons, and
have them show up on menus and taskbars.

They even integrate in Chromebooks (with Linux installed) so long as you
have zenity installed. (I don't know what "zenity" is, I just know you need
it in Chromebooks if you want to integrate AppImages into the desktop.
Otherwise you have to run them ./sample.AppImage from the terminal. (Maybe
this is only with poorly made AppImages, not sure.)
