Probono, creator of AppImage, in an attempt to get AppImage support, is banned from the OBS Studio organization on GitHub after downright rude comments and accuses them of supporting Flatpak because of the bounty offered by RH. "In any event, please do not bother our project anymore"
A tool that is capable of bundling everthing (including glibc, libstdc++. and gcc 9 runtime libraries) like https://github.com/AppImageCrafters/appimage-builder or go-appimage appimagetool -s deploy may be better suited for the meantime
- appimage-builder v1.0.1 is here

- appimage-builder 1.0.0 was released, a tool for packing applications along with all of its dependencies using the system package manager to obtain binaries and resolve dependencies.

I have an application (written in python) which uses libadwaita. How would I create an AppImage that contains all required dependencies for this app?
AppImage Builder Can Be Configured To use Pacman Too. Look At This Example And Umm Yea LibAdwaita is Not Available in Most Repositories.
- Good news AppImage makers and Arch Linux users! Now it's possible to use the appimage-builder generator feature to create bundle recipes using pacman. This is feature comes with a great remake of the whole generator implementation. Give it a try

Why doesn't appimage have this?
Integrate zap with that repo and make it official. It will automatically download the appimages inside a directory 'Appimage'. You can move them anywhere else ONLY if it has a directory named 'Appimage'. In this case it is moved to an external usb.

Install snap vs deb (ppa) for Ubuntu 22.04?
Personally, on a debian based distribution I would either use the AppImage (you could even use something like zap to manage its version). Or, the solution I would and have personally used is to compile it from source. I am a developer, so I am biased, but the instructions are very simple and clear so it should be pretty easy to do.

Bread, It's History & Minor Patch v0.7.2
Tho bread is github focused which is a big drawback as many software aren't on github, i discovered this program Zap Which was a appimage package manager like AM or bread but it's far much better than mine.

Interesting Benchmarks of Flatpak vs. Snap vs. AppImage
If you can download and install software from the web (which you also can do with debs and rpms btw), you can create a package manager to automate that from the terminal. You either trust a project or you don't, and if your don't the package format makes no difference.

It's time to fork some good projects
NOTE: I don't know when and if to add new AppImages from the main catalog, also because a part of them is mostly broken and out of control. The AppImage packages compiled and managed by "AM"/AppMan are new AppImages that use scripts that also allow constant updating and recompilation from scratch, as if they were installed from AUR, using more reliable sources (official repositories for Debian and derivatives) . If you are interested more to the applications made available officially from the official AppImage.GitHub.io catalog, I suggest you to use Zap, Bread or the aforementioned Appimagedl. All these amazing utilities can be quickly installed via "AM" or AppMan.
- AppImage and centralized repositories: my point of view
What are some alternatives?
AppImageKit - Package desktop applications as AppImages that run on common Linux-based operating systems, such as RHEL, CentOS, openSUSE, SLED, Ubuntu, Fedora, debian and derivatives. Join #AppImage on irc.libera.chat
AppImageUpdate - AppImageUpdate lets you update AppImages in a decentral way using information embedded in the AppImage itself.
exodus - Painless relocation of Linux binaries–and all of their dependencies–without containers.
AppImageLauncher - Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages
deezer-linux - An universal linux port of deezer, supporting Flatpak, Appimage, Snap, RPM, DEB...
AppMan - Manage 1900+ AppImage packages and official standalone apps for GNU/Linux without root privileges using the extensible and ever-growing AUR-inspired database of "AM Application Manager". Easy to use like APT and powerful like PacMan.
Bottles - Run Windows software and games on Linux
appimagepool - A simple, modern AppImageHub Client, powered by flutter.
AM2R-Autopatcher-Linux - Host repository for the AM2R Linux update data.
gvm - Go Version Manager (gvm) enables seamless installing and swapping between Go versions with a single command. This tool manages a Go environment for the user by allowing a user to specify which Go version they wish to use and handling all of the steps to install and configure that Go version. GVM also supports installing Go from the official Golang master branch so that you can easily try the next version of Go without waiting for a pre release build.
auto-cpufreq - Automatic CPU speed & power optimizer for Linux
GIMP-64bit-and-32bit.AppImage - GNU Image Manipulation Program, cross-platform image and photo editor, AppImages for x86 and x64 architectures built from the more recent PPA (supports GLIBC 2.27 or later). [Moved to: https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-AppImage]
