Description
Your idea
AppImage is awful. In Ubuntu/Gnome/Debian the application:
- is not available in system app menu
- does not have an icon
- does not ship with Musesounds
- cannot be added to favourites in the taskbar
- has to be manually downloaded in a browser, so you can't run an install script to install Musescore in a new system automatically with user input
Rather use snap or flatpak please, which have flawless system integration (I know there are snap and flatpak versions, but they are community maintained, and are out of date or just plain don't work - AppImage is the only official format made my Musescore.org on Linux)
Problem to be solved
