subsurface VS AppImageLauncher

why would you think he doesn't use other apps? Heck, he even wrote this https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface , although now other folks maintain it.

Also Subsurface Dive Log

Do you mean Subsurface?

> From the words of Linus himself

Since you don’t cite the source, I will assume that you’re referring to the Subsurface documentation (https://subsurface.github.io/download/). Linus himself, however, did not write it: https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface.github.io/commit/91...

So true, where would we be without Subsurface ?

Coincidentally, Linus Torvalds took a sabbatical to make a dive log program. https://subsurface-divelog.org/

He's actually very pragmatic & uses C++ too when he likes the framework using C++ better. https://github.com/subsurface/subsurface

That didn't stop him from making a pet project in C++: https://subsurface-divelog.org/ I'd say that if he seriously didn't like it, he'd have used C or something else.

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!
