Appimage has its own issues though:
- no update mechanism
- no sandboxing and only basic app isolation
- no deduplication (Flatpak automatically deduplicates everything it installs on a machine)
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoAppImages do have an update mechanism: https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/optional/updates.html https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/optional/updates.h...
- m4rtink 6y agoInteresting! That must be something relatively new, as it at least looked like there was nothing back then when I looked up Appimage.
- robotbikes 6y agoAppImage seems like the best replacement then. I've loathed Snap since it first appeared on my horizon and I installed LibreOffice with it and that snap image showed up in my mounted drives forever. I was a big fan of Canonical/Ubuntu for years and switching to Debian has not been without pain points but at least I have more control of my computer. Pop! OS and Linux Mint seem like good Linux desktop alternatives to Ubuntu at this point if you don't want to use Debian.

- yellowapple 6y agoOn the sandboxing front, it works great with Firejail: https://firejail.wordpress.com/documentation-2/appimage-support/ https://firejail.wordpress.com/documentation-2/appimage-supp...
