  1. alacritty

    A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

    Probably those are better suited, but I was looking for something very straight-forward and the description there was not something like copy & paste solution, it implied more reading, and after seeing that Alacritty included the desktop file I thought it was way easier to just type a few lines in a text file instead of reading documentation and installing another thing in my system.

  3. beekeeper-studio

    Modern and easy to use SQL client for MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, SQL Server, and more. Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

    As I mentioned above, there is a full specification, but for the sake of learning, I'll show here the file I created for Beekeeper Studio:

  4. AppImageKit

    Package desktop applications as AppImages that run on common Linux-based operating systems, such as RHEL, CentOS, openSUSE, SLED, Ubuntu, Fedora, debian and derivatives. Join #AppImage on irc.libera.chat

    There are at least three ways of distributing applications in Linux: AppImage, Flatpak, and Snap. Each one of these have different advantages and disadvantages but often it is not that important as a user since the format to use is a decision to be taken by the developer. Some applications already take care of this step for you, in case they don't keep reading, in this post I will show you a way to configure AppImage applications to be available from your desktop.
