Linux AppImage Preview

EdgeEver provides an x86_64 AppImage Preview on each formal GitHub Release. The package is built and verified on Ubuntu 22.04 to keep the Rust sidecar at a glibc 2.35 baseline. Newer Ubuntu releases, Debian 12, and current Fedora releases are expected to work but remain best-effort during the Preview.

Download EdgeEver-<version>-linux-x64.AppImage and SHA256SUMS-linux.txt from the same official Release, then run:

sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS-linux.txt
chmod +x EdgeEver-*-linux-x64.AppImage
./EdgeEver-*-linux-x64.AppImage

The checksum detects a damaged or mismatched download; it is not a code-signing identity. Do not download the Preview from third-party mirrors.

Automatic updates are intentionally disabled during the initial Preview. Download the newer AppImage from the latest formal Release and replace the old file manually. Automatic updates will only be enabled after a real AppImage-to-AppImage upgrade has passed the cross-version release gate.

An AppImage does not install a desktop launcher or file associations by itself. Desktop integration can be managed by the user's AppImage launcher or desktop environment. If the host cannot mount AppImages, try:

./EdgeEver-*-linux-x64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run

When reporting a Linux-specific problem, include the distribution, desktop environment, display protocol (Wayland or X11), architecture, and the EdgeEver system diagnostics.
