Im pretty appimage is stable to use on your system. It contains all of the dependencies inside of it. Just one file for all of its needs. Only issue that ive had is that you need to manually update them (ie download the newest version).

Hahah very true

I stopped dual booting windows 10 just because it kept messing up my boot loader when it performed certain updates

Do you mean the delay between when you need to re-enter the superuser password?

I found this via an LLM:

To change the delay before needing to re-enter your sudo password, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal and run:

   sudo visudo
   

2. Locate the line:

   Defaults env_reset
   

3. Add the following line below it:

   Defaults timestamp_timeout=<time-in-minutes>
   

   Replace <time-in-minutes> with the desired timeout in minutes (e.g., 30 for 30 minutes). Setting it to 0 requires a password every time, while a negative value disables the timeout entirely.
