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 to add applications
AppMan, at https://github.com/ivan-hc/AppMan, a copy of "AM" but portable, it can install everything into a directory of your choice in your $HOME, no root privileges are required.
-
Portable-Linux-Apps.github.io - a "work in progress" site were we can upload AppImages and other standalone applications for GNU/Linux
AppMan, a copy of AM but that allows you to choose where to install the apps in your HOME directory and without root access.
-
AppMan is back: v4.0.0 "PORTABLE", also available as an AppImage
More details at https://github.com/ivan-hc/AppMan

Introducing AM and AppMan, two bash scripts that can install, update and manage all the AppImage packages and other standalone programs for GNU/Linux
https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM-AppMan ("AppMan", local integration only).
-
AppMan 3.0.6.1: now you can choose the directory of your applications in your $HOME
RELEASE: https://github.com/ivan-hc/AppMan/releases/tag/3.0.6.1
- NEW "AppMan 3.0.6": not just another copy of "AM", now you can "convert" downloaded and created scripts for local installation (without root privileges)!

Why doesn't appimage have this?
Integrate zap with that repo and make it official. It will automatically download the appimages inside a directory 'Appimage'. You can move them anywhere else ONLY if it has a directory named 'Appimage'. In this case it is moved to an external usb.

Install snap vs deb (ppa) for Ubuntu 22.04?
Personally, on a debian based distribution I would either use the AppImage (you could even use something like zap to manage its version). Or, the solution I would and have personally used is to compile it from source. I am a developer, so I am biased, but the instructions are very simple and clear so it should be pretty easy to do.

appimage-builder 1.0.0 was released, a tool for packing applications along with all of its dependencies using the system package manager to obtain binaries and resolve dependencies.
That said, there is Zap.

Bread, It's History & Minor Patch v0.7.2
Tho bread is github focused which is a big drawback as many software aren't on github, i discovered this program Zap Which was a appimage package manager like AM or bread but it's far much better than mine.

Interesting Benchmarks of Flatpak vs. Snap vs. AppImage
If you can download and install software from the web (which you also can do with debs and rpms btw), you can create a package manager to automate that from the terminal. You either trust a project or you don't, and if your don't the package format makes no difference.

It's time to fork some good projects
NOTE: I don't know when and if to add new AppImages from the main catalog, also because a part of them is mostly broken and out of control. The AppImage packages compiled and managed by "AM"/AppMan are new AppImages that use scripts that also allow constant updating and recompilation from scratch, as if they were installed from AUR, using more reliable sources (official repositories for Debian and derivatives) . If you are interested more to the applications made available officially from the official AppImage.GitHub.io catalog, I suggest you to use Zap, Bread or the aforementioned Appimagedl. All these amazing utilities can be quickly installed via "AM" or AppMan.
- AppImage and centralized repositories: my point of view
What are some alternatives?
Ventoy - A new bootable USB solution.
AppImageUpdate - AppImageUpdate lets you update AppImages in a decentral way using information embedded in the AppImage itself.
deb2appimage - Build AppImages from deb packages on any distro with simple json configuration
AppImageLauncher - Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages
appimage-cli-tool - AppImage package manager
appimagepool - A simple, modern AppImageHub Client, powered by flutter.
AM - An "AUR-inspired" Database of AppImage packages and a CLI to manage/install/update them system-wide! This repo lists 1900+ standalone apps for GNU/Linux. You can extend it with custom repositories, create your own installation scripts and even build AppImages on the fly! "AM" Application Manager: Easy to use like APT and Powerful like PacMan!
gvm - Go Version Manager (gvm) enables seamless installing and swapping between Go versions with a single command. This tool manages a Go environment for the user by allowing a user to specify which Go version they wish to use and handling all of the steps to install and configure that Go version. GVM also supports installing Go from the official Golang master branch so that you can easily try the next version of Go without waiting for a pre release build.
