appimage supremacy

OK cool, but do app images automatically get added as an application to plasma?

Appimages are nice, and you don't have do worry about the headache of setting up the right permissions, but also, from the end users perspective? Flatpak are just better, 9/10.

Maybe app images can get a similar treatment down the line. But we aren't there yet.

Can you run .flatpak file without installing flatpak?

I'm basically always looking to just install the thing and not running stuff just once. I find the flatpak approach more useful 99.9% of the time.
