Linux AppImage & systemIntegration

See original GitHub issue

Version: 21.1.5

Target: AppImage (linux)

Previously I had the linux AppImage target configured with:

    "appImage": {
      "systemIntegration": "doNotAsk"
    }

However, with recent versions of electron-builder, this produces the error:

  ⨯ appImage.systemIntegration is deprecated, https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher is used for desktop integration"

I read through the linked page, but it didn’t quite explain what exactly has changed or how I can use the doNotAsk option.

Any clarification would be appreciated.

i think the removal of appimage’s systemIntegration is premature. until we have AppImageLauncher, AppImageUpdate, or appimaged is included in major linux distribution, the ux of appimages has worsen. previously the user just need the .appimage to install the app, now they also need to install these other software to have a nice ux. Is there any way we could bring back the systemIntegration without downgrading to earlier version?
