I love .appimages they work on all distros, easy to install, works from any directory, works without installing

If I can achive this setup it will make switching my work from machine to machine easy-fast, resilient, and distro hopping wouldn’t be a issue.

    basically the directories just need to be created. right now im using appman to update and to automatically created directories wit -H and -C. Im hoping for the holy grail which is an appman gui program that would do this. There is kinda one but its repo thing is not done as well as with appman. Given how good appman is it makes the most sense if someone does a gui is to just kinda make a gui wrapper for it.

      Yeah, I agree with appman. It’s the best appimage manager there is. It can automatically update all appimages and also manage/install custom apps from github which is great.

        yeah its really to bad as there is a gui but they do their own app managing rather than integrating appman which would be best. The ideal for me is an appimage that when run gives a gui to appman that assumes the directory it is run from is the directory used and also assume -H -C on all apps.
