I’ve used a few appimages for limited cases - BalenaEtcher to burn HomeAssistant on to SD cards for my Raspberry Pi, and I think the scanning software I use is also an AppImage. The idea of having the libraries and binaries all together for certain things is a good one for certain cases

This very much, I use an appimage for gimp because I'm not fucking putting GTK2 in my system lol.

Also if steam came as an appimage with the 32bit libs and a patched glibc it would be amazing, it would save so many headaches for everybody, one can only wish though.

Also they support a portable home, so steam can be on a different partition with all the games and its own user files independent of the distro/home you are using.
