AppImage and centralized repositories: my point of view
See VLC, GIMP, Spotify, qBittorrent and Kdegames, they are ready to be used/tested before you decide to try my bash-based utility named "AM". I've wrote several scripts here for x86_64 and i386 to build many more AppImage packages as you can do with a package from AUR. Official AppImages are also included on this repository.
- VLC Video Media Player 3.0.16 (GLIBC 2.27) RELEASED!

I'm trying to run old newer Appimage on old Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using newer GLIBC version: help needed.
some Appimages compiled from Debian Unstable (supports GLIBC 2.33), for example these versions of vlc and gimp;

- Why the neovim in the mint repo is so old? Im currently using mint 21.2. Is there a newer version available already? Im not able to use the plugins in this old version, and the snap version seems kinda laggy for me
- Why do I have do download >1 GB for Okular PDF viewer over flatpak? Installing it over dnf just totals to 81 MB

Appimages are too large, Flatpak is the way to go!
There's an updater for appimages https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/AppImageUpdate

feat: Linux AppImage update information
It would be very nice and handy if we could easily update Tutanota Linux desktop app. Luckily, since it is packaged as an AppImage, there's an easy-to-integrate utility available just for that.
-
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.
It's not centralised, not like Snap with SnapCraft, not even like Flatpak with it's 'not technically but kinda is in practice' Flathub repository. Anyone can make an AppImage, anyone can host an AppImage, anyone can download and run an AppImage, anyone can implement AppImage integration in a distro, and there's even a nice system for automatic updates for AppImage which again is nicely decentralised.

Interesting Benchmarks of Flatpak vs. Snap vs. AppImage
Some have built-in. some not. Btw I considered AppImageUpdate , but it would become re-install a full new app
-
AppImage and centralized repositories: my point of view
The fact is that the delta update system via Zsync and appimageupdatetool are real solutions to the problem, but too many developers do not implement it in their AppImage, myself included.

Installing an openSUSE desktop for a non-technical person
Btw, regarding Flatpak, I've had multiple issues related to mouse cursor, fonts, and local folder access - all related to the sandboxing of apps, all resolvable, but potentially a problem for a non-technical user. I've had much better experiences with AppImages, but I don't know if they have a graphical app store like interface; even the AppImageUpdate idea is still catching on.
What are some alternatives?
Official-Krunker.io-Client - The Krunker client is an installable, desktop-based version of Krunker.io for Windows, Apple Mac and Linux computers. It allows users to run and play Krunker outside of their browser, and can be downloaded by pressing the download button in the top right corner of the menu in game. Released to aid the competitive Krunker community, it can run at higher resolutions, frame rates, allowing for smoother and easier streaming or recording. Some benefits of using the client over the browser include: Utilities – While available in browsers via a script (which may lead to a hacker tag), the Krunker.io client has native support for added utilities. Improved Streaming and Recording Capabilities – As the Krunker.io client is handled as an application and utilizes one's GPU, recording and streaming is easier to manage. Full screen is still available via the F11 hotkey. Contents[show] Installation Size The installed folder - as of update 1.3.1.0 (24th November 2019) - is 153mb (73 files with 3 f
