The inaccuracy regarding AppImage and Fuse2 should be fixed here too I believe |

| AppImages depend on fuse2, which is unmaintained and depends on a SUID root binary. For this reason, fuse2 support is removed by default. It's strongly recommended that you find alternative mechanisms to install your applications (Flatpak, Distrobox, etc.). If you can't find an alternative and still need fuse2, you can add it back by layering something that depends on it. |

| Newer AppImages have FUSE version 3 built in. However, some older AppImages depend on fuse2, which is unmaintained and depends on a SUID root binary. For this reason, fuse2 support is removed by default. In such a case, it's strongly recommended that you find alternative mechanisms to install your applications (Flatpak, Distrobox, etc.). If you can't find an alternative and still need fuse2, you can add it back by layering something that depends on it. |

| Note: Sometimes AppImages can work if you extract them with `/path/to/your/appimage --appimage-extract`, then enter the `squashfs-root` directory created and run whatever binary is in there. |

The slowdown in doing so should be mentioned. Because a link or source of some kind would be useful to verify such a statement I shall not suggest such as I currently lack such a source with proper formality.
