I'm sick of reading that among the disadvantages of AppImage is the lack of updates and a centralized repository!
I have been working on two CLI tools to install AppImage packages system wide and locall (they are AM and AppMan respectively). I've also written a website that acts as a catalog and a better source for downloading them all for real, https://portable-linux-apps.github.io !
- What’s the best way to install App Man, direct or via distrobox?

Thank you for the review of "AM"
3:57, often appear the message "find: './containerd': Permission denied", this is because AM expects you install everything in /opt, to use a version that can work in any container or custom $HOME you want, use the portable version of AM, i.e. "AppMan", at https://github.com/ivan-hc/AppMan
-
After two years of development on "AM", AppMan and many Appimage packages... I'm seriously considering giving it all up
I started writing AM/AppMan two years ago, it was just a custom script to install and always keep any Appimage package I needed updated to the latest version. Then become something much bigger.

How about having an progress bar at the echo area???

Web Environment Integrity API
I am not a hopeful romantic, but the EU has been investing on vendor neutral web-browsers like Nyxt [0] and the UR Browser [1] through the Horizon Europe program. I doubt that legislators (at least in the EU) will view this as a positive development, assuming EU legislators know what they are doing. On the other hand, lobbying by big tech is still very much a threat.

using keyboard
There are some keyboard centered browsers like Qutebrowser or Nyxt. For Firefox as well as for Chrome based browsers there exist several extensions to implement vim-like keybindings.
