From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They've recently released a beta of an AppImage https://community.signalusers.org/t/beta-test-the-signal-desktop-linux-appimage/73330
This is great, but sadly appimages don't work on immutable desktops. But it's very positive that they are providing that.
I have used sivlerblue, kinoite and bazite. Each one of them could run appimages. What are you using?
You are correct, one shouldn't post while sick, sorry.
All good. Checkout the flatpak called "gear leaver" for managing and updating appimages. It's really helpful. If your using a ublue image it might already be installed.
Appimages definitely work on Bazzite
Yes, you are right of course.
I have no clue why they're not just adopting the existing flatpak that a majority of Linux users use
