How do I open a .exe file using the WINE appimage?

Hey guys, I've downloaded an appimage for WINE from Github
Wine:i386 won't install

I had this same issue. I just use the wine app-image file via this url. Save my a lot of headache ;)
My collection of AppImage packages

there are several developers that have bundled wine as an AppImage, my favourite one is this , about GZDoom I've just downloaded the tar package and it seems to be an Electron based app, so it should not difficult to bundle it (see my Spotify for example), and supermariowar should be easier too.
WINE 7.0 Flatpak is (unofficially) now available on Flathub!

I know a better option, this guy https://github.com/mmtrt/WINE_AppImage has done a fantastic job in distributing AppImage version of Wine Stable, Staging and Devel.

How do you (yes, you specifically) work with appimages?
1 project | /r/linuxmint | 4 Nov 2023

I recently discovered AM App Manager, it's app manager for appimages that have system integration and you can update all your apps with one command. Take a look at it's catalog to see if your app is supported.
Install issue on PopOS using appImage
1 project | /r/lunarvim | 25 Sep 2023

I use https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM-Application-Manager to install App image, to include Neovim. By default it currently installs Version 10.0 and creates the symlinks.
I'm sick of reading that among the disadvantages of AppImage is the lack of updates and a centralized repository!
3 projects | /r/AppImage | 13 Aug 2023

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 !
ArchImage: my (experimental) side-project to convert Arch Linux programs to AppImages that really work on any distro, old or young... powered by Junest
9 projects | /r/archlinux | 26 Jun 2023

In conclusion, I feel really confortable with docker/podman/distrobox/junest... but I also like a lot AppImage packages, so I'm trying to merge both. Something I learned all this time I use Linux is that there is no distro, no package format, no software... that can really satisfy my needs. The best hing I can do to solve this situation is to built it by myself (this is my main project, I named it "AM"). I spent two years to create what I like, after a decade as a common Linux user that uses what distro/package mantainers had to give, and this make me feel better. This last point is the main reason because all these distros and software solutions exists in GNU/Linux.
Ventoy Installation

This is one of the 1700 installation scripts of my project.
After two years of development on "AM", AppMan and many Appimage packages... I'm seriously considering giving it all up
4 projects | /r/AppImage | 15 Jun 2023

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.
I have developed my own Appimage package manager in full BASH, here are 3 different approuches to install the apps: xterm (1, the default one, allows to interact when prompted questions), less (2, clean but non interactive) or nothing (not clean). What is better? Have you got suggestions?

Sure https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM-Application-Manager I have already tried with lowercases words but I don't like that, that's why I've chosen uppercased text. "De gustibus non est disputandum", Romans said.
Portable Arch Linux packed into a single executable
4 projects | /r/archlinux | 30 May 2023

I like containers, I've tried Junest and docker/podman/distrobox... also I work a lot with portable apps (see here) and I've also published a website for them (here) so I'm amazed on how you've built something that can merge them! I'll include it on my catalog (also I'm writing an installation script for it). Thank you!
Portable-Linux-apps.github.io reached 1608 applications (about 1570 are Appimage packages), all with descriptions and links to the authors, sources... and installation scripts I wrote one by one.
1 project | /r/linuxprojects | 28 May 2023
After a long waiting and big cleaning of the code... "AM" Application Manager is back: 1596 installation scripts (i.e. about 1550 Appimage packages, all installable and updatable). And the uploading is not finished yet!
