We recommend using FlatPak and the official build on flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/com.giadamusic.Giada The idea is to get rid of the AppImage build and switch to FlatPak in the very near future.

Why Flatpak? Flatpack apps run in a sandbox, which prevents access from most system resources. The giadas Appimage package was the best solution for all linux users, until now, please don't leave it.

Hi @pqks, I understand your concern but unfortunately the appimage package became a nightmare to maintain at some point. We prefer to invest resources in the development of our app. The guys at Flathub are doing an excellent job and are helping us distribute Giada on Linux in the least painful way possible (for us).

[devcomputer]

but nobody really likes flatpaks. seriously. less portable than app image, more hd space than apt install a package. wonder how the decision to no longer make appimages impacted the number of users.
