A possible downside of an AppImage is that the software is not
available from the launcher. I do not know if the tools proposed in
the AppImage documentation website work well.
In that case, its advantage over the static binary packages is only very minor.
Just the launch process might be a bit simpler for certain users.
If the "static binary packages" are for example these
https://www.texmacs.org/Download/ftp/tmftp/generic/TeXmacs-1.99.16-C.tar.gz
quite surprisingly I have a TeXmacs icon available in the Xubuntu launcher.
I *think* that the only thing I did was setting
export TEXMACS_PATH=[installation directory]
export PATH=$TEXMACS_PATH/bin:$PATH
in /etc/profile.d/texmacs.sh
But I am not confident that I remember correctly.
The static package on Xubuntu 20.10 (and previous releases) creates a
fontconfig directory in each directory that I use to startup TeXmacs
from. There has been a discussion on the mailing list on this topic
(" Fontconfig created upon every start" by Fan Zhang, on 12.07.19), but
I did not have the patience to read through the solutions; I am starting
TeXmacs up just from a few directories as a workaround.
