    :zap: Delightful AppImage package manager (by srevinsaju)

  • If you can download and install software from the web (which you also can do with debs and rpms btw), you can create a package manager to automate that from the terminal. You either trust a project or you don't, and if your don't the package format makes no difference.

  • AppImageUpdate

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

  • Some have built-in. some not. Btw I considered AppImageUpdate , but it would become re-install a full new app

  • 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.

  • AppImageLauncher

    Helper application for Linux distributions serving as a kind of "entry point" for running and integrating AppImages

  • To launch and integrate AppImages there is AppImageLauncher https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher

  • gimp

    Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp

  • There are a few commits with the word "performance" between versions .24 and .30. In GIMP, odd-numbered versions (.25) are not release versions, they are considered development-only, which is even weirder why there would be an AppImage of it.

  • firejail

    Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf sandbox

  • there "key" feature can easily be achieved using firejail

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
