Question about Appimages on (super) old Linux distros

[pingugaming909]

Hey guys! 😃
it's just a curiosity of mine but i was wondering... since you can "bundle" in several dependancies on an appimage, would it be possible then to use that same appimage you made with modern tools like "quick-sharun" and run it on something incredibly old like, i dunno, ubuntu 10.04 or something like that? 🤔

Yes

That's like the whole point of this project lol

Note however 10.04 is unlikely to work with most apps, a lot libraries no longer work correctly with kernel 2.6 and you really need 3.0 at a minimum.
