Special thanks to package forge and anylinux team ♥️

I would like to give special thanks to the AppImage AnyLinux gurus who have worked hard to push the AppImage format to the next level, enabling it to run on basically any Linux system and helping to bring Linux application distro fragmentation close to zero. Special shout-out to @fiftydinar, @Samueru-sama, @ivan-hc, @QaidVoid and others. Now this app can run on linux distros as old as when dinosaurs walked earth.
