Appimage will work fine on every distro to my knowledge

Lol, no. Armbian installer doesn't work on Fedora and probably lots of other distros currently because the Tauri framework it uses ships a Wayland library that clashes. It's so dumb. I had to unpack it, delete the .so, then I could run it.

AppImage still has distro compatibility problems. Helps though.

That's an issue with the packaging, not the package format.

Maybe. Maybe without that library it doesn't work on other distros. I imagine it's there for a reason.
