I have no clue what's up with the SSL error, it works for me on both Fedora and Ubuntu.

Maybe, the Ubuntu I tried on is also Xenial.

This is what happens if Pext isn't running inside the appimage. Just setting the variable APPIMAGE should work (but please make sure to set it correctly: https://github.com/Pext/Pext/compare/feature/appimageupdate#diff-f92d0e21ecdc5919116ff63380b7dbceR1357)

I am indeed using a thread for each progress update check, I'll try to remember to simplify that in the future, I forgot I can safely sleep in a second...

For what it's worth, the macOS .app (after extracting), is around 230MB. The .dmg just compresses really well. I definitely agree that this should be improved, but it's already good...

I don't believe it does, no. And sure, those make sense.

Looking at both the Windows and macOS build, which are both not really optimized either, ~120MB in compressed form should be something reasonably reachable.

Looking at the [releases](https://github.com/Pext/Pext/releases), somewhere between 0.18 and 0.19, the AppImage went from 253MB to 377MB. However, there is no change on Pext's side to explain this: https://github.com/Pext/Pext/compare/v0.18...v0.19. Something third...

Packaging as a conda package may be something to look into, but at the same time, it probably would just cause me extra maintenance work because it'd create more difference...

It was indeed miniconda. Pext's AppImage is now WAY smaller, which is awesome! Will need to look into what Qt modules I actually need :)
