Description
Problem Description
On linux, when an update is available, we need to go to GitHub, download the file, reinstall the app with appimage launcher, it's not user friendly.
Proposed Solution
With appimage, we can use appimageupdate, a system that permit users to automaticaly update the app without re installing it with github.
Alternative Solutions
