Same problem with Falkon-3.0.1.AppImage on HP ThinPro 7.1 (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).
David, kindly review the release policy. In distributions without snap or
flatpak support, AppImage is the choice of convenience and practicability for
running third-party apps.
We've all over COVID-19 collaboration apps being web-served when you join a
collaboration. That model will only likely grow and overtake package
installation from vendor repos. Consumers want to download-and-go. Sites
don't want to put-out a negative-sounding message on the /downloads page of
their site, offering no collateral and instead directing Consumers back to
their vendor repo to find and package-install from there.
The vendor repo package install workflow is entirely appropriate for system
programs and utilities. But for third-party apps, Sites want to offer
collateral on their /downloads page. There, they have one downloadable package
for Apple Macos, one for MS Windows, and the nonsense of half a dozen for the
minority OS, Linux. Kindly provide Linux apps as AppImages or be an
irrelevance within 5 years.
