You can tell the Linux kernel to use an interpreter (e.g. <code>appimage-run</code>) when executing certain binary files through the use of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binfmt_misc#External_links binfmt_misc], either by filename extension or magic number matching. Below NixOS configuration registers AppImage files (ELF files with magic number "AI" + 0x02) to be run with <code>appimage-run</code> as interpreter.
