I started using firedragon yesterday. it's great so far. that's not what this is about, but, probably has something to do with it.
Is anyone here using FireDragon? How does it compare with Firefox and LibreWolf?

Binaries for Arch Linux are not compatible with older GLIBC versions (I'm trying to create AppImages for other GNU/Linux distributions).

PS: I have the same issue with another program named Firedragon, the Firefox/LibreWolf fork for Garuda Linux, I have already talked with the developer about this issue. The main binary cannot work on other Linux distributions because the GLIBC version is not compatible. Any tips?
Which one is better Liberwolf Browser or Brave Browser?

A fork of Librewolf that's less strict is Firedragon. If you want to stay within the Mozilla ecosystem but find Librewolf to be overkill, consider this alternative.
How's your experience with Librewolf browser?.

A less extreme alternative is Firedragon which I've heard good things about, but haven't used. The only downside being that I believe as of right now your only install option is compiling from source, or get it by running Garuda Linux. Not a big deal, but obviously less convenient than a binary or flatpak.

Is it worth switching to Garuda from Manjaro?

It comes with its own version of Firefox, called Firedragon, which is a fork of Librewolf with some enhancements.

ArchImage: my (experimental) side-project to convert Arch Linux programs to AppImages that really work on any distro, old or young... powered by Junest
2 projects | /r/AppImage | 26 Jun 2023

Arch2AppImage is useless, just like my Arch-Deployer (Arch2AppImage is inspired by my project, see it's README), I've also created an "issue" on its repository to explain why I've abandoned it, see https://github.com/hanzala123/arch2appimage/issues/25 ).

I have posted previously that it's possible to go from AUR source ->AppImage -> Firejail with a script like Arch-Deployer for the basis of a secure OS.
Binaries for Arch Linux are not compatible with older GLIBC versions (I'm trying to create AppImages for other GNU/Linux distributions).

Hi, I'm the developer of Arch-Deployer, a script to bulk download Arch Linux packages from the main repositories (and from Chaotic-AUR) with all their dependences to finally compile AppDirs to study (the AppRun script and other internal components) before their exportation in AppImage packages. When I created it, my goal was to create AppImages to upload on my other repository named AM Application Manager, to made all these programs available for all the others GNU/Linux distributions. But I had not taken care of a particular issue: GLIBC compatibility!
Issue in creating an AppImage for GIMP
8 projects | /r/GIMP | 18 Jan 2022

If I have time enough, I wanna try to create a script that automatizes all the processes, also for you developers, but my knowledge is limited to the download of packages from Debian and derivatives or from Arch Linux to create these structures, I'm not much good in compiling these programs by myself into a chroot, I'm just an enthusiast.
Arch Deployer has been improved
2 projects | /r/archlinux | 1 Jan 2022

I have not added support for Chaotic-AUR, you can consult this issue to check the reason. You will most likely need another script to export your programs to the AUR to make them executable on any other distribution (I've already done this for some programs in my other project, "AM", the Application Manager).
