    I like the sandboxing of Flatpak, but I prefer AppImage as I don’t like having the Flatpak runtime requirement.

      Don’t AppImages also have a similar requirement just with stuff that is already installed on many popular distros so many people just don’t notice it? I think I read somewhere that running AppImages on systems that even slightly differ from the big popular distros is a pain since you still have to ship this stuff with them but it is more cumbersome than with flatpaks.

        That is technically true with things like glibc, but I’ve never seen a system that did not already include baseline packages.
