Yes, I know what AppImages are. The problem with AppImage is that hardly anyone packages their software as an AppImage.

  Have you considered doing this for yourself? If this is your only complaint and the solution exists surely you could benefit from it. I highly doubt it's the package managers holding you back.

    You mean compile all my applications from source myself and bundle them into AppImages? Yeah, I guess I could waste my life doing that. Or I could just keep using Windows where I don't have to do anything so silly.

      I didn't realize compilers waste human time, but okay keep complaining about it all the time.

        > I didn't realize compilers waste human time Having to setup build environments and compile applications from source absolutely takes significantly more time than simply downloading and running a binary. Again: I didn't come in to this thread to complain about Linux, I came here to complain about Windows. I offhandedly mention not liking Linux and people practically begged me to complain further. If you don't like it, talk to them. Edit: I realize now that it is possible you mean make AppImages for my own programs, not other people's. In which case: A) I rarely release on Linux for other reasons but B) when I do, I release static portable executables.
