Linux: Build in one-dir mode and use AppImage tools #341

@Avasam

Description

@Avasam

Instead of using PyInstaller's onefile mode (self-extracting-executable) on Linux, we should build in one-dir.

This has the following advantages:

  • Use a standard "portable single executable" on Linux
  • Ship with an icon (Generate a Desktop icon on Linux #274) and allow users to use AppIamge-related tooling (like auto-registration as apps)
  • Better UPX compression
