It's sad to see another good tool bite the dust (it isn't dead, just added to my list of tools to be replaced as soon as a good enough replacement is found)

I get the appeal of AppImage to maintainers, but if we had 300 problems with OS packages, now we have 300,000,000 problems with AppImages
I am actively looking for better ways to generate my rpi images now

@uda@toot.org.il I can understand that. After having eaten shit with 4-5 platforms (Win, Mac, Linux), I really expect OS maintainers to optimise the package for their own system, if they need it. They, on the other hand, already have a shitty but working appimage, so why bother more?
