> 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.
