    ELF and .sh files need to be set executable, chmod +x file, before they can be run, unless your DE does that for you

    Dunno about appimages

      At least for Ubuntu, you do need to set the permissions of the AppImage before it’ll launch.

      I still haven’t figured out how to make .desktop files work yet.
