Install package for major linux distributions [e.g. Fedora, Ubuntu]
Downloading appimage for linux installation is the worst. It should be properly installed. We need .rpm and .deb packages.
Installing FUSE (required for AppImage) on Ubuntu versions 22.04 and above causes system instability due to conflicts with core system packages. In some cases, it requires a complete system reinstall. Use libfuse2 (NOT FUSE) on Ubuntu 22.04 and above.
Please consider providing a .deb package as an alternative installation method.
Current workaround is to manually move the AppImage to /opt and create desktop entries, but this is not ideal.
Also please don't forget to finally fix double window decorations on Ubuntu 22.04! (it displays both Cursor and default system window decorations on top of one another - should only be Cursor's)

There is a workaround: you can extract and start the AppImage without FUSE needed. However, I would prefer a native installation as well.
Installation:
APP_URL="https://downloader.cursor.sh/linux/appImage/x64"
curl -s -D - "${APP_URL}" -o cursor.AppImage
chmod +x cursor.AppImage --appimage-extract
./cursor.AppImage --appimage-extract
sudo chown root:root ./squashfs-root/chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 ./squashfs-root/chrome-sandbox
mv ./squashfs-root /full/path/to/squashfs-root
Start of the Application
export APPDIR=/full/path/to/squashfs-root
${APPDIR}/AppRun --no-sandbox
A .deb package would be great because a .deb package version could also update itself. It seems the AppImage thinks its updating but does nothing because its an AppImage. Really annoying when you really want to try out 0.45 its being dangled in front of you and you have to wait until its posted.
i am using macos 15.2 (24C101), M1 chip, How can i get the .deb package download link?

Deb is for Linux distros like Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint.. Not for MacOS🦙
