It's explained in the online documentation:

AppImage do not depend of the native version and AppImage do not install files
on your system. Same Settings will be used than the native, same database, etc.
Flatpak or Snap bundle are chrooted too much and in fact unusable as well.
Plenty of applications drop this kind of bundle now, because users needs to set
a puzzle to open the doors on the system for the application. It's too much
complicated. We (digiKam team) do not support this kind of bundle, but
AppImage.
AppImage is a container, mounted at run time as read only ISO9660 file system
(CD/DVD/BlueRay). it includes all the dependencies to run the application. It's
simple and easy to use.

So now the most important question:
digiKam 8.0.0 is out. This entry still valid with this release ?
