ArchImage: AppImages built on top of JuNest (Arch Linux), this is my build of OBS Studio

[ivan-hc]

in reference to #2868 (comment)

I've built an AppImage of OBS Studio based on JuNest, uses packages from Arch Linux and its own GLIBC libraries to run on any GNU/Linux distro, starting from the kernel 2.6.

If you are interested on my build and want to test it, this is my repository:

https://github.com/ivan-hc/OBS-Studio-appimage

To create the AppImage I use this script:

https://github.com/ivan-hc/OBS-Studio-appimage/blob/main/obs-junest.sh

The AppImage is created each 24 hours, you can download it from here:

https://github.com/ivan-hc/OBS-Studio-appimage/releases

I hope you're still interested on this work. I'm interested too about improvements, I know that 400 MB are too much, but all the removals can be included into the script above, I started from a bundle of 650 MB, but it can still be smaller.

NOTE: being all languages supported by Arch Linux enabled into the archive, at first start the app can be slow. I've also tried with one language and the AppImage is 50MB smaller. The build requires a lot to be completed due to the "locale-gen" process, while the whole process reache less than two minutes when you enable only your language.

Let me know if you like the idea.

Cheers.

UPDATE: the bundle is now 197 mb
