@itsfoss hi! Are you aware of the #PkgForge project? 👀

They are trying to do a lot of cool stuff with AppImages, by making them actually universal and compatible with as many versions and variations of Linux desktop as reasonably possible.

For example, the fuse issue isn't a problem with these because the uruntime automatically falls back to namespaces based execution which falls back to the extract and run mode that appimages support! This, along with the care they take to ensure everything is as universal as possible makes me want to use their work a lot.

I recognize that a lot of people are turned off by #AppImages because of the things probonopd has said in the past so I have to emphasize: I think most(if not all?) of the stack has been rewritten and has no real influence of probonopd here.

For example, uruntime is written in rust and I've seen the team go above and beyond for stuff like fixing Wayland support, both of which probonopd seems to have a grudge against...? Lol

Disclaimer: I am a little biased as I did a package for them a year or two ago

I get that not all AppImages are made this way but I feel like the more people who know about this, the better smaller projects feel empowered to give modern AppImages another chance, especially because of all the bad press around AppImages
