ELF and .sh files need to be set executable, chmod +x file, before they can be run, unless your DE does that for you

Dunno about appimages

KDE does exactly like that
(I am using MX Linux)

At least for Ubuntu, you do need to set the permissions of the AppImage before it'll launch.

I still haven't figured out how to make .desktop files work yet.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
