I use Cura for no reason other than it’s simply the most popular, and easiest to find help with 🤷

What is an appimage?
Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Basically an executable package of an entire application for Linux. It doesn’t integrate with package managers meaning you’ll have to update it manually.

I have no idea. It’s like a program that Linux doesn’t recognize as a program.

An appimage is basically a bundle of all the required libraries dependencies and the actual application you want to run. Its convinient for the developers since they dont have to package their software for multiple distibutions (debian, arch, suse etc). To have it behave like you are expecting (ie be double clickable to run and searchable) you need to make the file executable (either with chmod or a right click menu if your disto has the option) and create a .desktop file (either manually or using an app like Appimage Launcher)
This may sound complicated but it is pretty easy. Though I find it an unecessary hassle as well. Here is a guide if you : itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/

There’s also Orca and SuperSlicer which are forks of the same code as Prusa.

There’s also a community built Flatpak if you’re ok with that

Welp. I see it now but when I looked it up through Gnome software, it showed me nothing. Guess I should know better by now.
