They even integrate in Chromebooks (with Linux installed) so long as you 
have zenity installed. (I don't know what "zenity" is, I just know you need 
it in Chromebooks if you want to integrate AppImages into the desktop. 
Otherwise you have to run them ./sample.AppImage from the terminal. (Maybe 
this is only with poorly made AppImages, not sure.)
