Advantages :
- Build instantly, no OS update or installation required
- Guaranteed stable neovim version
- Works on any distro
- Works for any user that can execute software in /bin (usually any user)
Disadvantages :
- Needs curl (auto-installs with apt)
- Adds a
nvimexecutable to /bin that runs the AppImage installed in /opt with the commandnvim(I can make this optional in the future)
