That's fine. But it's not really a standard. Just an approach, and not one that is guaranteed to work unless that's an explicit goal for the program involved.

Tbf, you can do the same thing on Linux with AppImages.
- dusted 5y agoYou can do the same with normal linux programs too, mine work fine, but the insistence of pulling apart a program and spread throughout the filesystem is in my opinion misunderstood. Sure, it made sense when it was introduced, for the reasons it was introduced, mainly, that drives were so small that you had to. There are very very few cases today where your program and it's accompanying files are so large that they cannot be expected to live on only a single disk.
- smashed 5y agoSplitting app binaries that can be easily redownloaded from configs and user data makes a lot of sense. Also caches that can be deleted and rebuilt.
