You can copy, move, rename or whatever you want with the dile as it will work everywhere!
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoYes, I know what AppImages are. The problem with AppImage is that hardly anyone packages their software as an AppImage.
- xfer 5y agoHave you considered doing this for yourself? If this is your only complaint and the solution exists surely you could benefit from it. I highly doubt it's the package managers holding you back.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoYou mean compile all my applications from source myself and bundle them into AppImages? Yeah, I guess I could waste my life doing that. Or I could just keep using Windows where I don't have to do anything so silly.
- xfer 5y agoI didn't realize compilers waste human time, but okay keep complaining about it all the time.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y ago> I didn't realize compilers waste human time Having to setup build environments and compile applications from source absolutely takes significantly more time than simply downloading and running a binary. Again: I didn't come in to this thread to complain about Linux, I came here to complain about Windows. I offhandedly mention not liking Linux and people practically begged me to complain further. If you don't like it, talk to them. Edit: I realize now that it is possible you mean make AppImages for my own programs, not other people's. In which case: A) I rarely release on Linux for other reasons but B) when I do, I release static portable executables.
