Install extension command not work with appimage

[gafarma89]

This command does not work ( but it works on microsoft vscode )

vscodium.AppImage --install-extension "darkriszty.markdown-table-prettify"

Above command opens vscodium GUI. no warnings, no errors.

I try this on the latest version of vscodium also with Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 also on 2 different machines. One of them is:

Just to recheck:

• It works on the AppImage of Visual Studio Code, but not on the AppImage of VSCodium, correct?
• Where do you get both AppImages from?

@GitMensch I found an AppImage here: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.69.2/VSCodium-1.69.2-1658192312.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage

You guys should proudly showcase this AppImage as a download option; I almost overlooked it. Thank you so much for supporting my preferred format.

I'll like to try VSCodium, but will only do so if there is an AppImage for it. I can't find one, but you mention one. Where is that?

https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/ has those, the current one is https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.69.2/VSCodium-1.69.2-1658192312.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage (and other than Ubuntu's "snaps" this should have no permission regressions).

@paulcarroty Do you think we can leave a link to the newest AppImage on vscodium.com? If not: what do you think of at least mentioning it there (a paragraph before the snap one)? I may be able to PR some text if that helps.

Sure, we can forward to https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/latest or even to the direct link, a bit JS required.
