But, it works, especially for the use case of the "I need the latest and greatest versions of two packages".
> AppImage can do that too, since it is a lot less over-engineered, but sadly very few developers use AppImage and it even distributions like Nitriux that claim to support AppImages don't display icons for them.
So, use one of the other 20 distros where AppImages just work, perfectly, out-the-box.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoIgnoring the issue with the oft-used fallback of distro roulette as a Linux evangelist defense mechanism, it isn't that they don't work, it's that their icons aren't displayed. There is not a single distro, including the ones that actually supposedly embrace AppImage, which displays AppImage icons correctly.
