I'd be grateful if you can give me some feedback here in this thread, like how it works for you in your distro, etc. If you find any issue specific to the AppImage, you can report it in the issue tracker to see if there's something we can do to solve it. Note that I've only tested them with my host OS, don't know about other distros. Very convenient, isn't it? In combination with Gitlab CI, I managed to automate the creation of AppImages through pipelines. I found a wonderful piece of software called pkg2appimage which creates AppImages from deb packages. Then, realized that Unity discontinued the official AppImage at the beginning of this year (2022) in favor of Debian and RPM packages and everyone was angry, so I decided to make my own.
This is quite handy, but there is a problem: the OS has no idea what an AppImage is. Unlike a ZIP file though, an AppImage can be executed to run its bundled application.
And AppImage is one big container file (similar to a ZIP file) which contains all the dependencies for running and application. My OS is an Arch-based distro and wanted to use an AppImage for this. The Unity Hub is distributed in AppImage format. So, for a university project I had to use Unity.
