Speed up your workflow with AppImages that start automatically.

When I installed Ubuntu 24.04, AppImages wouldn't open. No message explaining the situation or anything.

After some research I learned that Ubuntu had disabled them by default with the exception of some specific ones which were enabled for some reason or other. Pretty convoluted. I can't even remember what I had to do to enable them, but it was not something a new Linux user would have an easy time figuring out.
