Why Use An AppImage?

AppImages are mostly useful for being standalone executables that just work. There may be an existing, official way to get a release build (e.g. Flatpak) but generally speaking you have to build it yourself if you want to try a development build on Linux.

These are provided as a way for folks to get easy access to development builds on virtually any modern Linux setup (including the Steam Deck), and also for those that just want a single, standalone executable.
