Release 86Box 3.4
I can't speak for others but I use appimaged still, which monitors the ~/.local/bin directory and automatically adds the shortcut to my application menu in Ubuntu-Mate.

What is the best way of integrating .AppImages with Gnome?
I found out that there is a daemon for it ([appimaged](https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged)) but it doesn´t seem to be supported anymore. The site points to an [alternative codebase](https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage) but it is not clear (at least to me) if it is stable or not.

Appimages, Gnome and Changing Image Filenames
Hi u/tnc68, I use AppImageLauncher on Ubuntu to handle this automatically as it will handle the installation of new updates and preserve/generate desktop app icons for each update. Some users may prefer appimaged (as u/ProgsRS mentioned), but I currently do not use it.

Appimages
There seem to be more than one solution to integrate AppImage with the desktop and still somehow a work in progress. The original version of appimaged is deprecated for a newer version written in go. There is also AppImageLauncher, which is not entirely the same as appimaged, but maybe does what you need.

(Help) Bundling my text editor (nvim) to be used inside a docker container
Bundling my flake derivation as an AppImage using nix-appimage. I successfully built an AppImage using this and copied it over to my container via the `docker cp` command, upon trying to run the AppImage inside of the container it complained about missing dependencies for bash, so unfortunately the AppImage isn't self-containing.
