Of course. Are they useful enough though for people to install an entirely new software?

Of course. Are they useful enough though for people to install an entirely new software?
- gkbrk 1y agoSince installing entirely new software is just downloading Cursor.AppImage from the official website and double-clicking on it, it's not a large hassle for most users. If you're on Arch, there's even an AUR package, so it's even less steps than that.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoappImage is useless for development since it only has access to globally installed development tools and environments.
- gkbrk 1y agoThat's not true. AppImages aren't sandboxed and they can access the rest of the system just fine. After all, they're just a regular SquashFS directory that get mounted into a /tmp mount and then executed from there.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoSo you're saying that the Cursor appImage is done poorly? I'd believe that.
- satvikpendem 1y agoCursor itself is making 200 million a year now so I presume yes.
