[Feature]: Clarify AppImage installation #2

Problem or Use Case

I find it difficult to decide whether or not to download and use the AppImage, which is how I would try TalkType.

I run AppImages to make sure my system stays intact, unaltered. It's clear from the AppImage section that I need fuse2. I have fuse2 installed (Arch based). And then there is a System Requirements section which states that ydotool and wl-clipboard are required. I installed those as well, system wide.

System wise, I have everything I need installed. But the System Requirements section states:
Dependencies ydotool, wl-clipboard (installed automatically on first run)

Can you please confirm that the AppImage does not automatically attempt to install ydotool and wl-clipboard?

Or if it does install them, does their installation occur in some sort of sandboxed way that doesn't affect my system components / dependencies?

Proposed Solution

It would be great if TalkType's readme would clarify this for potential AppImage users who wish to have untouched systems.
