A possible downside of an AppImage is that the software is not
available from the launcher. I do not know if the tools proposed in
the AppImage documentation website work well.
In that case, its advantage over the static binary packages is only very minor.
Just the launch process might be a bit simpler for certain users.
It is a bit better than that. First, you can in general start an
AppImage from your file manager without having to set up any path.
Second, there is AppImageLauncher [1] which is takes care of adding
AppImages to the launcher and "storing" them in ~/applications instead
of the download folder. Last, there is App Outlet [2] which offer an app
store like experience for snap, flatpak and AppImage files. Click,
install and run. It is very nice and simple.
