Describe the enhancement you want to request

I would like to request an official AppImage release for the Linux version of OpenCode.

Currently, I am trying to run OpenCode on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL 8), which is a standard environment in many corporate settings. However, I cannot install the provided .rpm package because it depends on newer versions of libraries (specifically libwebkit2gtk-4.1 and newer glibc versions like 2.34+) that are natively available only on newer distros (like Fedora 40 or Ubuntu 22.04).

In an enterprise environment, we cannot upgrade the core OS or glibc to satisfy these dependencies. I also attempted to use distrobox as a workaround but faced significant permission and X11 display issues due to strict security policies.

Benefits of implementing this:

  1. Backward Compatibility: An AppImage bundles all required libraries (including WebKitGTK and glibc), allowing the app to run seamlessly on older but strictly maintained LTS distributions (RHEL 8, Debian 10/11, etc.).
  2. Enterprise Adoption: It significantly lowers the barrier for developers working in restricted corporate environments to adopt OpenCode.
  3. Simplicity: It eliminates "dependency hell" completely—users just download, chmod +x, and run.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #8270: [FEATURE]: start making .AppImages
  • #7058: opencode-desktop: `GNUTLS_3_7_4' not found on RHEL8 (same OS/library compatibility issue)
  • #6258: OpenCode desktop unable to run in Bazzite Linux using AppImage and RPM (related AppImage issues)
  • #5651: [FEATURE]: Publish flatpak for desktop app (related Linux packaging feature request)

The most directly related is #8270, which is already tracking the general AppImage feature request.
