AppImageLauncher
- New to fedora, any advices?
- Flatpak Is Not the Future

What is the proper way to install?
Every file that you want to execute has to be in your environment PATH. I would also advise to put symlinks and personal executables in ~/.local/bin and put that to your path. Since your user has ownership over that directory, you won't have any probs with permissions that may or may not occur at all. Since we're talking about AppImage files, you might also want to take a look at AppImageLauncher which does a pretty good job at creating entries for your Desktop Menu for the AppImage files that you install to your system.

What’s the best way to install App Man, direct or via distrobox?
I think it's safe to install it directly as it stores everything in a single directory. For AppImages there is also AppImagePool + AppImageLauncher (can be installed rootless, useful for better integration of appimages).
- Newer Linux Administrator, have a question regarding Debian builds like Ubuntu and installer.appimage files.
- AppImage won't ask anymore to Integrate after Running only once
- AppImageLauncher no longer working on Fedora 38

Working on an app to "install" and manage AppImages
This reminds me of a prettier version of AppImageLauncher. Is there also an "Uninstall" option in the right-click menu of the app launcher?

Can I trust Flatpak apps if they are not managed by the app developer?
I'm using AppImageLauncher on Fedora.

Standard Notes users - how are you creating shortcut to SN inDock?
"... I recall that this was related to an issue with most Electron apps, wherein the AppImage cannot be integrated with the desktop or the favourites bar. So far we've found that the AppImageLauncher (https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher) helps with getting around this!

Release 86Box 3.4
I can't speak for others but I use appimaged still, which monitors the ~/.local/bin directory and automatically adds the shortcut to my application menu in Ubuntu-Mate.

What is the best way of integrating .AppImages with Gnome?
I found out that there is a daemon for it ([appimaged](https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged)) but it doesn´t seem to be supported anymore. The site points to an [alternative codebase](https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage) but it is not clear (at least to me) if it is stable or not.

Appimages, Gnome and Changing Image Filenames
Hi u/tnc68, I use AppImageLauncher on Ubuntu to handle this automatically as it will handle the installation of new updates and preserve/generate desktop app icons for each update. Some users may prefer appimaged (as u/ProgsRS mentioned), but I currently do not use it.

Appimages
There seem to be more than one solution to integrate AppImage with the desktop and still somehow a work in progress. The original version of appimaged is deprecated for a newer version written in go. There is also AppImageLauncher, which is not entirely the same as appimaged, but maybe does what you need. Docs: https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/run-appimages.html#integrating-appimages-into-the-desktop
