AppImage/AppImageKit

Dpendency mismatch in GNOME system.

AppImage required dependency fuse to run AppImage binaries but GNOME needs fuse3 to be run the way intended. Now, when you install fuse the gnome DE will crash and you can solve this by installing fuse3 which then later won't be able to run AppImage bins. How can I run AppImages in gnome DE?

Install libfuse2, it can be installed alongside libfuse3. If your distribution can't do that, I'd consider it a bug of the distribution.

Why AppImage can not be coded with libfuse3 instead? I mean if it ain't that hard...

But it works. Thanks.

Because older systems don't have it. We need stable interfaces to the base system, not constantly changing ones.
