- New to fedora, any advices?

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!

Flatpak Is Not the Future
Snap and flatpak run a daemon to integrate into your system. Appimage has an optional daemon to give you the same integration https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage
Handles making it executable, automatic upgrades, no need to move it to your $PATH, and adds the application to your app list.
Only other thing you might want to do is symlink a friendly name for cli

Can I still use Flatpaks with musl-version of Void?
It's possible to make appimages that bundle a libc, although most don't. The go-appimage project contains a static build tool that will bundle the linker and wrap executable invocation in that. The intention seems to be providing support on older systems for programs built with a glibc that is too new, but I'm using it to ship a musl binary that can run on glibc systems.

FOSDEM ‘23 - I was wrong about Flatpak, AppImage, and Snap
I look forward to watching the FOSDEM talk this weekend, so perhaps getting ahead of myself. But I'm curious whether you think the move in appimage toward static linking would solve some of the hairy issues you pointed out? For example: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/1193 and https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/

Tips for avoiding bloat with Wine's multilib dependencies?
AppImage This seems like a convenient way of keeping Wine isolated from rest of the system. However, the documentation is still in research phase for this: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/Bundling-Windows-applications https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher https://github.com/sudo-give-me-coffee/wine32-deploy

Question about .appimage
There are helper programs to help you manage them and integrate them with the system like other package formats.
- When I install a program from the Ubuntu repositories, I can press the Super key and search for it any time, and it shows up as a friendly icon. How can I add AppImage files to this database?

AppImageLauncher to Integrate AppImages (including Games/Emulators) in Your Linux Distro Seamlessly!
Would be great if most distros (including Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) would include AppImageLauncher or appimaged by default. Would make it much simpler for most people.
What are some alternatives?
appimaged - appimaged is a daemon that monitors the system and integrates AppImages.
bauh - Graphical user interface for managing your Linux applications. Supports AppImage, Debian and Arch packages (including AUR), Flatpak, Snap and native Web applications
void-packages - The Void source packages collection
