App images in Linux always seems to confuse me.

Yes, I can set their permissions to executable, but the icon for the app still looks like a .zip file.

Also, should I just make an Apps folder in my /home directory to house all of these AppImages?

(The format feels a little rough around the edges to me.)

@signalapp is looking for feedback on the new #Linux installation method! But am I the only one who thinks #AppImages are like the worst choice? 😭

Since our switch from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS as the base for TUXEDO OS, some customers have reported that certain AppImages no longer start. We investigated the issue and were able to reproduce it generally for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and all operating systems based on it. We found that it affects only AppImages built on Electron. The AppImage of our own TUXEDO WebFAI Creator is also impacted.

I had a fantastic experiance last week using #claude (#claude_code specifically) to generate a script that helps me install #appimages on my #Fedora desktop. Appimages are these weird files that don't seem to play nicely with the package managers we know and love. They require manually moving to a directory and then creating a .desktop file so that your launcher (#rofi in my case) can find it.

Seems to work with #Beeper!
