1 week ago Hi, I'm confused on the issue. Does the AppImage not download, or not execute correctly?
If you are struggling to install Cursor from an AppImage file, you can try to follow a guide like this: https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/

1 week ago @danperks Fair. My complaint was about the Cursor website not giving additional context about what an AppImage is, which is why I called thhe website incomplete . Absolutely no additional context that I could see. Just "Download this File". - end of transaction. In my opinion, this is a growing trend in software development and it reeks of arrogance and exclusivity. I don't know what an AppImage. I've been working in web dev for 25+ years, so i'm not dumb. I just have way more personal challenges than most people. I do not have time to go on a wild goose chase to try and "test out" this new software. If you do not care about my needs, why should I care about you?
I googled AppImage. I set it as an executable. I did not work. My coworker got his to execute no problem. Again, without any additional context, why should I care? I got more stressful things to worry about. (I eventually found the time to understand that i needed some additional library...)
I can appreciate the challenge to providing documentation to a large, general audience. But c'mon, can you at least state some prerequiset knowledge? can you at least state your target audience so I know what I am getting myselfr into?

1 week ago and again, the web link you sent is incomplete and outdated, which is why it should be the software developer's responsibility to support its users. here is a link with better info https://itsfoss.com/cant-run-appimage-ubuntu/
