Cursor appimage self-update failure #434

Description

Installing Cursor via omakub is unable to self-update. When Cursor attempts an update, it needs to write to the current installed location, ie: /opt/ -- unfortunately, that path is owned by root. The update fails.

Fixed this issue temporarily by changing the group ownership of /opt to current users' group. That enabled Cursor to self-update. However, this doesn't feel appropriate for long-term fix. Maybe Cursor should install to path already owned by $USER? ie: ~/bin/ or ~/.local/share/bin.
