`linux-x64.tar.gz` asset discontinued from the v8.20? #246

This would have been better as a Discussion rather than an issue. But Discussions are not enabled in this repo, so no option.

Till v8.19, there used to be a linux-x64.tar.gz asset with the release. I can see that .AppImage has been added in v8.20. But has linux-x64.tar,gz been discontinued from this release onwards, in favour of an AppImage?

The tar.gz package was used for the Linux distributions that do not support rpm/deb packages. As you can see, the AppImage package was added after 8.20, so tar.gz has been replaced by it.

Makes sense. Thanks for the prompt reply.
