 ## Introduction
 
-AppImages are a convenient way to install software on Linux without using package managers or the command line. They are single-file executables that contain all the program's dependencies, making them easy to run on various Linux distributions. Installing software with an AppImage may serve as a simpler and more straightforward process than managing repositories or building from source for end-users that are already familiar with Windows and Mac operating systems.
