My collection of AppImage packages
qBittorrent (version 4.3.9 built from the official PPA, is a lightweight version);

AppImage and centralized repositories: my point of view
See VLC, GIMP, Spotify, qBittorrent and Kdegames, they are ready to be used/tested before you decide to try my bash-based utility named "AM". I've wrote several scripts here for x86_64 and i386 to build many more AppImage packages as you can do with a package from AUR. Official AppImages are also included on this repository.

- Why the neovim in the mint repo is so old? Im currently using mint 21.2. Is there a newer version available already? Im not able to use the plugins in this old version, and the snap version seems kinda laggy for me
- Why do I have do download >1 GB for Okular PDF viewer over flatpak? Installing it over dnf just totals to 81 MB

Appimages are too large, Flatpak is the way to go!
There's an updater for appimages https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/AppImageUpdate

Lamenting What AppImage Could Have Been
AppImages can contain update information (and even support partial updates using zsync), check out https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageUpdate.

feat: Linux AppImage update information
It would be very nice and handy if we could easily update Tutanota Linux desktop app. Luckily, since it is packaged as an AppImage, there's an easy-to-integrate utility available just for that.

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.
It's not centralised, not like Snap with SnapCraft, not even like Flatpak with it's 'not technically but kinda is in practice' Flathub repository. Anyone can make an AppImage, anyone can host an AppImage, anyone can download and run an AppImage, anyone can implement AppImage integration in a distro, and there's even a nice system for automatic updates for AppImage which again is nicely decentralised.

Interesting Benchmarks of Flatpak vs. Snap vs. AppImage
Some have built-in. some not. Btw I considered AppImageUpdate , but it would become re-install a full new app
-
AppImage and centralized repositories: my point of view
The fact is that the delta update system via Zsync and appimageupdatetool are real solutions to the problem, but too many developers do not implement it in their AppImage, myself included.

Installing an openSUSE desktop for a non-technical person
Btw, regarding Flatpak, I've had multiple issues related to mouse cursor, fonts, and local folder access - all related to the sandboxing of apps, all resolvable, but potentially a problem for a non-technical user. I've had much better experiences with AppImages, but I don't know if they have a graphical app store like interface; even the AppImageUpdate idea is still catching on.
