Is It possible to have Spotify as an .AppImage file? On Manjaro Linux, and how do I Do It?
1 project | /r/ManjaroLinux | 27 Jan 2021

Depending on how much you want to dig into it, it might be possible. It looks like the underlying install is from a .Deb, so using something like https://github.com/simoniz0r/deb2appimage might be able to make it work how you're asking.

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"
1 project | /r/DistroTube | 17 Jun 2023

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.
