Which AppImage should I install (.AppImage vs modern.AppImage)?

[GabrielStaples 1]

What is the difference between Ultimaker-Cura-5.1.0-linux-modern.AppImage and Ultimaker-Cura-5.1.0-linux.AppImage? Which should I use? Why? How do they differ?

This needs to be explained somewhere. "Modern" doesn't mean anything.

 

For example in:

- The Readme at: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/

- Release descriptions at: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/releases/

- Systems requirements page: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011788040-What-are-the-system-requirements-for-Ultimaker-Cura-

Hey All,

We've added the following  comment to the release notes: 

If you are looking for an AppImage for your Linux OS we recommend using linux.AppImage. If you run into issues with launching your AppImage, we have linux-modern.AppImage ready as an alternative.

We are planning to update the system requirements page to reflect this information.
