Last AppImage version
Where can I download the last Linux version of the PrusaSlicer that is still an AppImage?
Best Answer by Walter Layher:
Try one of the previous releases on github. They stopped providing AppImages because they could not offer one version that would cover all linux distributions and decided on providing one flatpak version for linux from now on. The reasons were mentioned in the release notes on github. But those flatpaks are also without problems and have their own quirks. You could still try to build PrusaSlicer from source on your system.

RE: Last AppImage version
Thanks, I see 2.8.1 is the last AppImage on Github, I’ll give that I try.
It needs to be installed on a secure computer that has no internet access, so I need to download the complete package and then transfer it to the secure computer to install it. This is not possible with flatpacks because then you only download an installer. So in the long run I’ll probably need to move to Cura anyway if I want/need new features or support for newer printers.
RE: Last AppImage version
The build instructions for PrusaSlicer found on github work on Ubuntu and Debian. On others probably too, but I only have tested these two. If you are on one of those systems, you may have to install some additional -dev packages there but it is feasible.

Never used it myself, but have you tried flatpak create-usb?

That looks quite interesting. For now I’ll just use the last AppImage, but this could very well be the way to move forward in case of a printer upgrade.
