Feel free to correct me if I misunderstood something here, I'm not too familiar with all the different distribution methods on Linux:

We originally planned on doing AppImage releases, but we do rely on deeplinks that authenticate the application after the successful login. Those logins happen in a regular browser so the Application has to register the custom URL schema with the OS at some point. As far as I understand it, to do this with AppImage you need another application like AppImageLauncher installed so that the AppImage can register that custom URL schema.

I did not get this to work without an additional dependency that has to be installed on the system, so I removed the builds from the release as I think this is very confusing.
