      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!

      The snap store is a shit show of security issues.

      Forced migration to snaps.

      Performance issues.

      Proprietary back end.

      Slow to install

      Slow to start

      Eat up RAM

      Eat up disk space

      They screw up access to devices.

      They automatically update themselves without user confirmation.

      Fuck snaps. Fuck Canonical.

      My issues with snaps are:

      • The server software is closed source and centralized
      • They create many block devices that can slow down booting the PC.
