AppImage is the only one that does autoupdates on Linux without a third-party package manager.
Pointing less sophisticated users at it may be beneficial,
as they avoid issues with things like Snap which does not look reliable these days (#1774 (comment))

Sounds good. Just to check, I can only see one AppImage file in the releases: ipfs-desktop-0.14.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage. Are we planning to create an AMD64 specific AppImage, or are we just gonna stick with the one x86_64 image?

Sorry, that was a lot of CPU architectures 🤦

@johnnymatthews in the context of packages x86_64 is the same as AMD64 (some distributions like Gentoo use "amd64" because AMD was first to introduce 64bit x86, but its copatible with Intel)
