I've also used those RPMs for a long time but building those packages 
can be a pain. So I understand the (ex-)maintainers.

Speaking about AppImage though:
Is openSUSE really that bad in supporting AppImage or do I miss something?
I used to use appimaged which somewhat worked in the past but some time 
ago it stopped working just crashing immediately (like hundreds of times 
per minute).

It still is in TW but outdated and broken.

What is the way to handle desktop integration for appimages nowadays 
(and in best case available in TW)?
