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.

Rolling release between Arch and Rhino(Ubuntu based)
Looks like it's not a rolling release. It's a stable ubuntu with unstable packages (from the pacstall repo)

Anything similar to AUR in PopOS ? I am a Linux noob.
Check out https://pacstall.dev/

Yep.. I'm dumping APT for Nala.
If you use Pacstall, you can run pacstall -I nala-deb

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
Lastly, deb-get + pacstall + bauh. All of these combined covers 99% of my software needs, much less need to find and install PPAs and .deb manually. Still not as convenient as AUR, but much better than it was before. Hopefully, eventually everything is on Flatpak, snap, or AppImage so I could just use Bauh for most apps, but for now, I'm glad that these tools exists.
