bob VS AppImageLauncher

That depends on the debian stable repo what version of Neovim they provide. My suggestion would be to check out bob, which as far as I'm concerned it's the easiest way of installing Neovim and gives you the ability to switch between stable and nightly.

Config details: 0. Distribution: AlmaLinux 9 (what I'm forced to use at work) 1. Also requires: git, curl, clang, rustup, fzf 2. neovim version manager: https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob 3. I'd like to use the LazyVim setup 4. using an nvims() shell function to switch between setups (default & LazyVim, for now) (see https://gist.github.com/elijahmanor/b279553c0132bfad7eae23e34ceb593b)

Auto-install of Bob Neovim version manager (optional)

I personally use bob, ($ cargo install bob-nvim), and it's been great for ease of version management, including nightly

Honest just use bob on non-bleeding edge distro

There's already bob (Version manager for Neovim)

I use on all platforms: https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob

current stable is 0.8.3 maybe try the unstable ppa or appimage or bob.nvim

If you want to peek at it now, you could try a neovim version manager like bob... https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob I've been using it recently and it makes experimenting with new stuff a bit easier. Then if you run into issues you can switch back to a stable release. I'm considering doing a video on this too since I think it would be helpful to some... and I don't think it's very well known

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.

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).

This reminds me of a prettier version of AppImageLauncher. Is there also an "Uninstall" option in the right-click menu of the app launcher?

I'm using AppImageLauncher on Fedora.

"... 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!
