appImage is not a great packaging format for Linux. Any chance you could ship a flatpak instead? You'd likely need to host your own flatpak remote, but it's not rocket surgery.

Thank you for your consideration and for your work.

It is far, far easier to convert an AppImage into a Flatpak (or any other packaging form) than vice versa.

If a dev is only going to choose one, I'd much rather they ship an AppImage.
