If we can keep these AppImages up-to-date then a mention in https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/index.html (in the linux section) would certainly seem appropriate.
These pages: https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/linux.html https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/binary.html#linux would also be appropriate. I think the AppImage packaging would qualify as a binary distribution for linux. I notice that the sagemath docker images aren't mentioned on those pages either. That could be appropriate as well. I guess there's preference discussion possible here for how much we would want to promote the AppImage. It should certainly be one of the surest ways to run sage, but it may be a bit limited. Would "%cython" code work in it? Also, conda and source-based installs are more flexible in terms of allowing people to turn to developing as well. That said, the "conda" description involves a whole bunch of steps, whereas AppImage would be "download, make executable, run". Really, the only thing that can compete with that in terms of ease is "dnf install sagemath" (if that would work).
