README
## **Anylinux AppImages**
Designed to run seamlessly on any Linux distribution, including very very old distributions and musl-based ones. Our AppImages bundle all the needed dependencies and do not depend on host libraries to work, unlike most other AppImages, **all while being significantly smaller thanks to [DwarFS](https://github.com/mhx/dwarfs) and [optimized packages](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/archlinux-pkgs-debloated)**.
Most of the AppImages are made with [sharun](https://github.com/VHSgunzo/sharun). We also use an alternative better [runtime](https://github.com/VHSgunzo/uruntime).
The uruntime [automatically falls back to using namespaces](https://github.com/VHSgunzo/uruntime?tab=readme-ov-file#built-in-configuration) if FUSE is not available at all, and if namespaces are not possible it falls back to extract and run, so we **truly have 0 requirements:**
| Format | Requirements |
|--------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Traditional AppImages (made by linuxdeploy or similar tools) | **Hard dependency on glibc** (rarely works on distros older than 4 years), also has a soft dependency on **FUSE** since the user has to manually extract when FUSE is unavailable, they also need an FHS compliant system to work. |
| Flatpak| **Hard dependency on bubblewrap and FUSE**. Must be supported by your distribution or be manually built and installed systemwide which requires elevated rights. |
| Snap | Similar requirements to flatpak minus bubblewrap, has a **hard dependency on systemd**. |
| **AnyLinux AppImages** (made with sharun) | Use **FUSE if available**, else **fallback to using namespaces** and if that is not possible then we automatically extract to `TMPDIR` and run with post cleanup, we **do not need an FHS filesystem** and **do not depend on the host libc**, so eh make sure you have `/bin/sh` and write access to `/tmp`??? (If you can boot to a graphical session you already met those requirements). **How is this possible?** See: [How to guide](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Anylinux-AppImages/blob/main/HOW-TO-MAKE-THESE.md) |
| **AnyLinux AppImages** (made with RunImage) | Similar to sharun AppImages but have a **Hard dependency on namespaces**, Lutris and virt-manager are the only ones that use this method, pending migration to sharun. |
