Top 7 C++ Appimage Projects

linuxdeployqt

8 2,104 6.0 C++

Makes Linux applications self-contained by copying in the libraries and plugins that the application uses, and optionally generates an AppImage. Can be used for Qt and other applications

Project mention: Two reasons because Arch-based AppImages are not a good idea | /r/archlinux | 2023-05-05

The second reason is the "modularity" of Arch, why Debian packages all the dependences in many different packages? Because a developer can isolate a bug or exclude that package using the right patch. Arch tends to package everything together. That's why an AppImage of Chromium for me is about 140 MB from a Ubuntu base and 280-300 from an Arch-base... but at least this is an issue of both arch-deployer and arch2appimage... I think that by using linuxdeployqt would be better in this case (SPOILER, it requires the host system with an old GLIBC version, also Debian Bookwork is too new for it xD ).

AppImageUpdate

21 542 4.6 C++

AppImageUpdate lets you update AppImages in a decentral way using information embedded in the AppImage itself.

Project mention: 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 | /r/linuxmint | 2023-12-06
