I gave it a try on a Ubuntu 24.04 computer: it works like a charm! In particular, I've run this test notebook: https://nbviewer.org/github/egourgoulhon/SageMathTest/blob/master/Notebooks/test_display.ipynb and everything was OK, except for the %matplotlib widget magic in cell 22. But the latter requires the ipympl package: https://matplotlib.org/ipympl/ Usually, this is fixed by a pip install ipympl but maybe it is technically not possible to install packages by pip within an AppImage?
I've advertised the AppImage on the SageManifolds mailing list <https://sympa.obspm.fr/wws/arc/sagemanifolds.list/2025-08/msg00000.html>, as well as on these pages: https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/download.html https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/install_ubuntu.html Thanks again for having developed this AppImage! It is certainly very useful to newcomers to Sage! Eric.
