@fyrstormer an appimage file is an executable. If your distribution cannot run executables you have a bigger problem than not being able to run cool-retro-term.
Type file «your appimage app here».AppImage, and you'll see something similar to ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped.
Chances are if you can't run them, they're not executable, so change their permissions, make them executable, e.g.: chmod 755 «your appimage app here».AppImage and off you go. If you need to run it from a desktop, create a *.desktop file in your MIME applications directory. There are plenty of resources showing you how to do that.

Let me rephrase: It would be nice to be able to use Flatpak, and by extension any distro's app store which Flatpak integrates with, to manage my installation of Cool Retro Term the same as if it were available in that distro's package repos. Rather than needing to set up anything manually.

@fyrstormer I understand the Flatpak experience would enhance the user experience, not only yours, in some distributions. Being the project open-source perhaps you could provide a Flatpak PR? The AppImage seems to be old and other users would greatly appreciate it as well.

Unfortunately I don't know anything about packaging an application as a Flatpak. I'm a halfway decent Linux user, but I haven't had the free time to experiment with any developer tasks in Linux.
