AppImage and centralized repositories: my point of view

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • GIMP-64bit-and-32bit.AppImage

    Discontinued GNU Image Manipulation Program, cross-platform image and photo editor, AppImages for x86 and x64 architectures built from the more recent PPA (supports GLIBC 2.27 or later). [Moved to: https://github.com/ivan-hc/GIMP-AppImage]

  • See VLC, GIMP, Spotify, qBittorrent and Kdegames, they are ready to be used/tested before you decide to try my bash-based utility named "AM". I've wrote several scripts here for x86_64 and i386 to build many more AppImage packages as you can do with a package from AUR. Official AppImages are also included on this repository.

  • AppImageUpdate

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

  • The fact is that the delta update system via Zsync and appimageupdatetool are real solutions to the problem, but too many developers do not implement it in their AppImage, myself included.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Official-Krunker.io-Client

    The Krunker client is an installable, desktop-based version of Krunker.io for Windows, Apple Mac and Linux computers. It allows users to run and play Krunker outside of their browser, and can be downloaded by pressing the download button in the top right corner of the menu in game. Released to aid the competitive Krunker community, it can run at higher resolutions, frame rates, allowing for smoother and easier streaming or recording. Some benefits of using the client over the browser include:

  • Krunker client source code I can't read it, but here it is.

  • VLC_media_player-x86_64.AppImage

    Discontinued AppImage for VLC Video and Media Player from the more recent PPA (supports GLIBC 2.27 or later). [Moved to: https://github.com/ivan-hc/VLC-AppImage]

  • AM

    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!

  • flatpak

    Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework

  • No, see https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/329. Nothing stopping you from creating a runtime with nothing actually in it though.
