If you have to choose between using an App Image, from the developpers official site or an AUR package (or apt e.g), what do you choose?

    Yeah, but why would I want to do that? I don’t understand what problem this is solving…

    The benefit is that I can save a fraction of a second by not having to symlink a config file… At the cost of having to use a bloated app system?

      AppImage’s portable config feature is very useful if you use live usb, and AppImage’s portable config feature makes your ~/ clean from scattered application configs

        Ah ok, now that makes a bit more sense. Yeah, I guess for the sake of app portability, appimages and the like do make a lot of sense.
