Are there some more platforms that should be bundled?
I guess vnc might be an option |

I tested the resulting appimage under Debian 11, 12, ubuntu 22.10, 23.10, centos7 and it works |

If VNC is an option and does not increase the size much, then that would indeed be nice. |

can you please expand on what is experimental about wayland? did you test it on a wayland environment?
what value does that bring? can't we rely on XWayland compatibility?
I disagree. the appimage serves a general purpose, but providing all bells and whistles should not be the target. bloating the size "because we can" is not a good goal. if you want to remote something, just do that yourself |
That all depends - if "we can easily" and there's an increase of 65.5 to 66.5 (that would be less than 2%), then this would be nice. If it is an increase by 20% or is complicated, then that is bad. |
Adding wayland support provides proper scaling. I know there are some environment variables that you can use but these mess with other programs (e.g. zoom) so you need a lens to use these programs. |
|
but why is this "experimental"? |
|
Because the appimage guys don't support it. But that is expected of a wayland hater. |

this gives the user more leeway to use the appimage closes: #554

Just out of interest: I've got a machine where the CI artifact wants to start, but aborts because of a missing library - should this be installed or was it a bad link? ./hotspot-v1.5.0-17-gd2703f3-x86_64.AppImage --help --> missing library outside of QT starting a GUI process; would it be possible/reasonable to bundle it as well? |

Hm, rechecking: maybe #282 should be reopened. with So the libKF5* libraries have a dependency to other libraries like libQt5Gui.so.5 (that are included in the appimage) which have the dependency to libGL.so.1, which is not part of the appimage. I think that with the current infrastructure libGL.so.1 should be included as part of this PR. Ideally (but that would be a separate issue) the libKF5* libraries would be delay-loaded, this would allow |
