From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Appimage is better for cli apps. Different purposes. Neovim appimage is very useful
Appimage is broken in many ways. Use a container
I've never had problems with appimage, and for me, containers are for my servers. I don't want stateless, sandboxed applications for my workstations.
In what ways is it broken?
Containers don't need to be stateless. I use Distrobox to create environments that I run my software in. Podman is the best for Distrobox but it can use the docker backend as well.
