ruffslWhy Flatpak Won and Snap and AppImage Didn't. - Cameron Knauff
gworlBecause it’s nice for devs to have a single package type to build per OS
Why can’t they do that already? Just choose whichever one you want it’s trivial for me to run whichever as a user
Just not snaps.
AppImage and flatpak are fine though
Whats wrong with snaps?
My only “issue” with appimages is i tend to leave them in my downloads folder and lose them
There’s an appimaged daemon you can install that will manage them, and it watches a bunch of folders to integrate appimages with xdg and whatever window manager you’ve got. ~/Applications looks like an easy pick, or ~/.local/bin.
Appimages you decide to keep you can just move there!
Why do you keep appimages? I don’t do that and now I’m wondering if I do something wrong. But I try to install from repos as much as possible.
The appImage is the program. If you don’t keep it, you don’t have the program.
I’m sorry, I was an idiot. I thought appimages are debs when I made the comment.
