Apparently this affects most if not all flavors of Ubuntu. Especially
the default flavor.

The AppImage format for distributing applications is centered around the
idea that a user can boot the Ubuntu Live ISO, download an application
in AppImage format, make it executable, and run it without having to
install anything.

Not having libfuse2 and fusermount on the Live ISO breaks this for all
existing AppImages out there.

AppImage tooling (the tools application authors use to produce AppImages
of their software) will have to be updated by the AppImage project, but
even once it is, it will take considerable time until all application
authors release updated AppImages of their software.

Hence, asking for a defined grace period until fuse2 gets removed from
the Ubuntu Live ISO.

Bug description:
  Attempting to run an AppImage in Xubuntu 22.04 displays the following
  error:

  $ ./cryptomator-1.6.5-x86_64.AppImage 
  dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2

  AppImages require FUSE to run. 
  You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
  if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. 
  See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
  for more information

  Simply installing libfuse2 resolves this issue. Some flavors seem to
  still include it. I noticed that today's Ubuntu MATE daily still does.
  Ubuntu and Xubuntu do not.
