Also, AppImages are now built using <a href="https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy">linuxdeploy</a>, the universal AppImage creation tool suite, using the <a href="https://github.com/TheAssassin/linuxdeploy-plugin-conda">conda plugin</a> to set up everything Python related. That plugin was actually inspired by the experiences I made during all the months it took to make the first AppImage build script.</p>
