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!

Wow - Ubuntu is so much more "batteries included" - any other distro like this?
One of my favorites was this one where they told us:
- App, sistema operativo e tanto altro per privacy in un mondo alla Gorge Orwell...
- Working on an xrandr launch arg to fix ultrawide issues with OpenGL, need some assistance with the cmd
- Screen flashing white
- The best distro for nvidia laptops

Removing Steam also removes PipeWire
Using controllers with Steam's flatpak is impossible without steam-devices. Installing steam-devices with apt also installs Steam's .deb. Uninstalling Steam's .deb completely removes PipeWire. I have found this issue on GitHub from six months ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet. I'm surprised there are still issues with Steam on Pop!_OS after what happened last time.
