An "AUR-inspired" Database of AppImage packages and a CLI to manage/install/update them system-wide! This repo lists 1900+ standalone apps for GNU/Linux. You can extend it with custom repositories, create your own installation scripts and even build AppImages on the fly! "AM" Application Manager: Easy to use like APT and Powerful like PacMan!
The flatpak Gimp is excellent for the majority of Gimp linux users. It is sandboxed, and to certain extent therefore limited. An example, just a few posts away, is connecting to a scanner using XSane - just not going to work unless someone makes a flatpak xsane Gimp plugin. An appimage is a little more libel, a little hands-on tweaking and most things work. Another advantage is multiple versions, want to easily run a Gimp 2.10.08 appimage (last time n-point deformation worked) or Gimp 2.10.14 (last time seamless clone worked) or a current Gimp 2.99 dev version, then it is possible providing these are available as appimages. End of the day, up to you. Years ago I used to make pre 2.10 appimages from a now defunct 'buntu PPA. Believe me it is not easy. The packages from https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/ are really clever, using bits from various distros. Sadly Carmelo seems to have vanished, and the packages stalled. I do hope he is ok.
Flatpak wins just because it has a centralized repository, while AppImage does not. If AppImage had had a centralized repository, it would have been the first choice for all developers... but the creator of the "AppImage format" itself is against the idea of centralized repositories. I created one, and that's why I found myself creating scripts for creating and installing programs in AppImage format, including this script for GIMP.
