I just distribute it as a self-contained executable/archive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As long as your application is statically linked, I don't see any issue with that.
So, like, dumb question. People here assumed that I mean AppImages, whereas I actually meant just a statically linked binary. Is that really the only reason why AppImage exists? So, that dynamically linked applications can be distributed like statically linked ones?
You cannot statically link everything. Take graphics libraries and APIs for example, do you statically link against nvidia's or mesa's opengl?
The majority of AppImages I've seen have been dynamically linked, yes. But it's also used for packaging assets.
Nix: you package it yourself and do a pull request
Sadly, many flatpaks don't even work on NixOS properly because of assumptions about the file structure or similar
