    AppImages don’t integrate into the system at all and AppImageUpdate sucks.

    Also flatpak update go brrrr

      Appimages are well integrated in Manjaro for example. You click on it to and you automatically get the choice to have it installed with menu links and all.

      I can only assume you never properly used Appimages as they are surely better then installing a full Fedora runtime environment just to run a basic app as in the case of Flatpack.

        AH really? What DE? I guess everyone should use Manjaro. For me, I have to right click, run as executable. Firefox doesn’t work, Pling icon looks like shit, can’t update them without using a poorly made updater program. No thanks!

          KDE.

          Why on earth would you run Firefox via an Appimage? All these container formats are only good for apps that are not up to date / available in the distribution’s repository, and Firefox certainly is.
