Add notes about why AppImages are good

Notes to write out later:

  • Sometimes troublesome to start old löve games
  • The löve in your package repository might use a newer LuaJIT version or one that's compiled with Lua 5.2 compat, which breaks some Lua functions. With an AppImage you would notice that your game does not run right away.

  • Distribute a single file, about as easy as it gets for a user to run.
  • No need to install anything. (I definitely needed to install something one some systems, FUSE I think, but not sure)
