Are AppImages a generel security risk?

Kabo:

But I need to get the job done and can’t wait till they someday patch the bug

Report it and use the AppImage in the meantime?

Kabo:

TheDoc:

endorse (PPA, AUR, Nix) if any of those apply to you.

PPA seems like its an Ubuntu thing?

The other two are specific to distro’s I don’t use.

TheDoc:

you could mess with Distrobox

Isn’t this to much overhead?

I’m just presenting what officially endorsed packages they offer as alternatives. If you can’t or don’t want to use any of them, you’re obviously stuck with the AppImage (or an unofficial package which has its own risks) until they resolve the Flatpak bugs which can only happen if you report them.
